Poster | |||
| |||
| The purpose of this session is to encourage students of public health and health-related programs to present posters that highlight the intersection between social justice and public health from a historical, epidemiological, global, and/or methodological perspective. These posters will present work that furthers understanding and action to address the ways that social inequality harms, and social equity improves, the public’s health. Examples of social inequality include inequitable social divisions within societies based on social class, race/ethnicity, and gender, as well as inequitable relations between nations and geographical regions. Given the theme of the conference, the session especially welcomes posters on environmental justice issues. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. List examples of student research linking issues of social justice and public health, especially in relation to environmental justice | |||
