Socioeconomic Inequalities SIG Update

May 2021

We have news and updates from the Socioeconomic Inequalities SIG, including an upcoming panel webinar on structural racism; information about the 2021 ISBNPA XChange; and the most recent socioeconomic inequalities publications.

Panel Webinar

“Physical Activity and Nutrition Behavior Research in the Context of Structural Racism”

Please join us for an exciting upcoming panel webinar on conducting research in the context of structural racism. Check your local time zone for the exact day/time.

London: Monday, May 10th, 9pm
Auckland: Tuesday, May 11th, 8am
New York: Monday, May 10th, 4pm

The goal of this panel webinar is to strengthen the capacity of our global ISBNPA members to recognize structural racism, address it through their research, and advance anti-racist research that supports public health and promotes health equity. The panel represents a spectrum of expertise, from researchers with many years of training and experience to researchers still developing expertise, and includes perspectives of researchers from historically excluded or marginalized communities. The panelists will share their research experiences and insights and engage in a virtual discussion with other panelists and attendees.

The panelists:

Dr. Inge Huybrechts, International Agency for Research on Cancer, World Health Organization, Lyon, France
Dr. Eun-Young Lee, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Dr. Ray Mahoney, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) & University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Christina McKerchar, Department of Population Health, University of Otago - Christchurch, New Zealand
Dr. Angela Odoms-Young, University of Illinois-Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.
Dr. Jennifer Roberts, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, U.S.
