Arjumand Siddiqi is a social epidemiologist. She received her doctorate from Harvard University and is currently Assistant Professor at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, and a Faculty Fellow of the Carolina Population Center. Dr. Siddiqi is interested in the role of social and economic aspects of societies in shaping inequities in population health and human development. In particular, her research utilizes a cross-national comparative perspective to understand the consequences of social welfare policies for inequalities in health and developmental outcomes. Areas of research include the influence of income inequality and social policies on inequities in adolescent schooling outcomes amongst the advanced market economies, the impact on population health of the transition from communism to a market-based economy among Eastern European nations, and an emerging body of work to understand health inequities in Canada versus the United States. Dr. Siddiqi was a member of the World Health Organization’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health Knowledge Hub on Early Child Development, and has consulted to several international agencies including the World Bank and UNICEF. She was recently awarded a fellowship from the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research to study International variations of socioeconomic inequities in children’s health and development. |
