Advancing Urban Public Health – The Future of Public Health: Community, Collaboration, Social Justice, and Health Equity in New Jersey
Advancing Urban Public Health: An Equity and Social Justice Approach is one of 12 Rutgers Big Ideas that aim to have global impact on the critical issues of our day. The project’s goal is to improve the well-being of people and populations in New Jersey by creating a community-centered urban public health hub in Newark that will be a sustainable and replicable model for cities across the world.
The hub will be rooted in practices of health equity and social justice to propel collaboration across care, policy, research, education, industry, and lived experience. You are invited to an insider’s look at this transformational effort on Wednesday, May 26, from 4 to 5 p.m. EST. Join Dean Perry N. Halkitis and Leslie M. Kantor of Rutgers School of Public Health in conversation with Michellene Davis, a trailblazing leader and passionate voice for equity, to learn more about making this Rutgers Big Idea a reality for New Jersey and the world.

FIRST JOINT HELLENIC MEDITERRANEAN UNIVERSITY & RUTGERS UNIVERSITY e-SYMPOSIUM
2021-05-27 09:00 - 10:30
FIRST JOINT HELLENIC MEDITERRANEAN UNIVERSITY & RUTGERS UNIVERSITY e-SYMPOSIUM: Combating Discrimination in Healthcare & Fighting Health Disparities in Greece & the U.S.A.
Research from across the globe speaks to the many determinants of health disparities that disproportionately affect a range of populations, including women, individuals with low socioeconomic status, ethnic and racial minorities, immigrants and refugees, people with disabilities, and individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). Health inequalities –that is, systematic and avoidable inequalities in health outcomes– can be attributed to a wide variety of factors, including discrimination, which is the focus of our study. Discrimination has been associated, for instance, with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease among African American men compared to American men of European descent (Lockwood, Marsland, Matthews, & Gianaros 2018), a higher incidence of depression among women who identify as lesbian versus women who identify as heterosexual (Logie, Lacombe-Duncan, Poteat, & Wagner, 2017), and various psychosomatic problems among immigrant minority students in Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden (Kauf, Wölfer, & Hewstone, 2017). Both health disparities and discrimination are difficult but not intractable problems. There are many examples of policy, educational, and other types of interventions designed to eliminate them both, as well as their deleterious effects on individuals, communities, and populations (Metzl, Petty, Olowojoba 2018; Williams, & Purdie-Vaughns 2016).
In this first of a series of e-symposia co-organized by the Hellenic Mediterranean University (see also: https://www.hmu.gr/en)1 and Rutgers University’s Schools of Communication and Information and Health Professions, faculty will share their research regarding the abovementioned issues in Greece and the United States. In the public part of the event, faculty members from different disciplines and professional backgrounds, including Communication, Nutrition and Dietetics, Nursing, and Social Work will give short presentations on their research. A reaction panel will kick off a Q&A session and conversation among all attendees.
Registration: To participate, please register by Monday, May 24, 2021 following the link below: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1st-joint-e-symposium-fighting-health-disparities-registration-153158903403
