SUMMARY:Estimating the Risk of Police Involved Death by Race/Ethnicity and Place
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, September 21\, Hedwig (Hedy) Lee\, PhD\, will present Estimating the Risk of Police Involved Death by Race/Ethnicity and Place as part of the Carolina Population Center 2018-2019 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.\nLee is a Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis. She also holds a courtesy joint appointment at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis\, and is an Affiliate Professor of the Center for Research on Demography and Ecology and Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her recent work examines the impact of structurally rooted chronic stressors\, such as mass incarceration\, on health and health disparities.\nLee is hosted by Carolina Population Center Fellow Kathleen Mullan Harris. Harris is the James E. Haar Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Adjunct Professor of Public Policy and the Director and Principal Investigator of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health)\, a longitudinal study of more than 20\,000 teens who are being followed into young adulthood.\nProfessor Lee is a former Carolina Population Center predoctoral trainee (2003-2009). During her predoctoral traineeship\, she researched racial health disparities from a life course perspective using Add Health data. \nPRESENTATION ABSTRACT\nWe used novel data on police-involved fatalities and Bayesian models to estimate mortality risk for Black\, Latino\, and White men for all US counties by Census division and metropolitan area type. Police kill\, on average\, 2.8 men per day. Police were responsible for about 8% of all homicides with adult male victims between 2012 and 2018. Black men’s mortality risk is between 1.9 and 2.4 deaths per 100 000 per year\, Latino risk is between 0.8 and 1.2\, and White risk is between 0.6 and 0.7. Police homicide risk is higher than suggested by official data. Black and Latino men are at higher risk for death than are White men\, and these disparities vary markedly across place. \nCurriculum Vita (PDF) \n    Instructors: To arrange for class attendance\, contact Kate Allison (akalliso@email.unc.edu) by the Monday before the seminar \n    Streaming may be available and must be arranged at least one week in advance. \nThis seminar is part of the Carolina Population Center’s Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Biological Mediators and Moderators of Social Disadvantage
DESCRIPTION:This seminar has been cancelled due to weather. \nOn Friday\, September 14\, Colter Mitchell\, PhD will present Biological Mediators and Moderators of Social Disadvantage as part of the Carolina Population Center 2018-2019 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nMitchell is Research Assistant Professor of the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and is a Faculty Associate of the University of Michigan Population Studies Center. \nMitchell is hosted by Carolina Population Center Fellow Guang Guo. Guo is Dr. George and Alice Welsh Distinguished Professor of Sociology. Guo is a CPC Training Program Alum: he was a Postdoctoral Fellow from 1991-1993. \nProfessor Mitchell is part of an NIH initiative to explore social epigenomics related to health disparities. \nFriday\, Sept. 14\n12-1\nCarolina Square Room 2002\n123 West Franklin Street \nLocation information is here. \nPRESENTATION ABSTRACT \nMeasures of social disadvantage such as poverty\, parental incarceration\, and family instability have well documented health and behavioral consequences for children\, which can even reach into adulthood. Social disadvantage likely operates through both social and biological mechanisms; however\, only in the last decade and a half have we seen a rapid increase in the integration of social science and biology. I investigate biological correlates of social disadvantage using the Fragile Family and Child Wellbeing Study (n=4898)\, a population-based sample of children born in hospitals in 20 cities in the US. Families have been studied at birth and ages 1\,3\,5\,9\, and 15\, with additions of genetic\, epigenetic\, and neuroimaging data collected more recently. Due to the study design the sample is racially and ethnically diverse and has lower SES levels than most large national studies- making it exceptionally rare within biosocial research. Of particular interest here are the correlations with genomic (polygenic scores\, and changes in epigenetic profiles and telomere length) and functional and structural neuroimaging measures with the effect of cumulative disadvantage and timing of social disadvantage.   \nResearch project: “Epigenetic Mediation of Adverse Social Context on Stress Response\, Socioemotional Development\, and Health in a Population-based Study of Minority and Low SES Children and Adolescents” \nSelected publications \n    Instructors: To arrange for class attendance\, contact Kate Allison (akalliso@email.unc.edu) by the Monday before the seminar \n    Streaming may be available and must be arranged at least one week in advance. \nThis seminar is part of the Carolina Population Center’s Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.
