SUMMARY:Elizabeth Wrigley-Field: The Deaths America Treats as Normal
DESCRIPTION:On January 29\, 2021\, Elizabeth Wrigley-Field\, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities\, and a Faculty Member of the Minnesota Population Center\, will present “The Deaths America Treats as Normal” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2020-21 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. This year\, the CPC Interdisciplinary Research Seminars will be open to both CPC members and Social Epidemiology program members. \nAbstract: \nThis talk explores racial disparities in mortality during U.S. pandemics\, using the 1918 flu and COVID-19 pandemics to develop general frameworks for understanding inequality in pandemic experiences—and what they reveal about inequality during ordinary\, non-pandemic times. The first part of the talk considers racial disparities during the most devastating respiratory pandemic of the 20th century\, the 1918 flu; shows that those disparities were surprisingly small; and develops new hypotheses\, grounded in social immunology\, to account for this anomaly. The second part of the talk pivots from 1918 to 2020. During the 1918 pandemic\, U.S. white mortality was still lower than U.S. Black mortality had been nearly every year. Today\, during the COVID-19 pandemic\, the same pattern holds: for white mortality in 2020 to reach the best-ever Black mortality levels would take 400\,000 excess deaths among whites. Using pandemic mortality as a measuring stick for racial disparities offers a new perspective on the measures we do — and do not — embrace in order to combat racial inequality. I use demographic mortality models to make a new\, demographically based case for reparations for racism. \nBio: \nElizabeth Wrigley-Field is a sociologist and demographer at the University of Minnesota\, specializing in racial inequality in mortality and historical infectious disease. She is also a quantitative methodologist\, developing models designed to clarify relationships between micro and macro perspectives on demographic relationships. \nThis event will be held on Zoom. You can register here. We will post a recording after the talk. You can see previous events here.

SUMMARY:Fenaba Addo: Wealth Inequality in Young Adulthood: Higher Education\, Racial Disparities\, and Middle Class Status
DESCRIPTION:On January 22\, 2021\, Fenaba Addo\, an Associate Professor of Public Policy at UNC\, will present “Wealth Inequality in Young Adulthood: Higher Education\, Racial Disparities\, and Middle Class Status” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2020-21 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. This year\, the CPC Interdisciplinary Research Seminars will be open to both CPC members and Social Epidemiology program members. \nAbstract: \nFor whom is higher education an engine of economic mobility? How should we value post-secondary education in a society with extreme wealth inequality and skyrocketing student loan debt? The message that post-secondary education is one of the strongest predictors of socioeconomic mobility\, for Black and Latinx young adults in particular\, is quite pervasive. It was not until recently\, however\, that we as society begin to grapple with amount of debt that individuals are having to take on in order to complete their post-secondary degrees. Using data of youth born in the early 1980s\, this new research examines racial inequality in wealth in young adulthood\, its relationship with higher education\, and what is means to be middle class. \nBio: \nFenaba R. Addo is an Associate Professor of Public Policy. Her work examines debt and wealth inequality with a focus on family\, relationships\, and higher education. She received her Ph.D. in Policy Analysis and Management from Cornell University and holds a B.S. in Economics from Duke University. Prior to joining UNC\, she was the Lorna Jorgensen Wendt Associate Professor of Money\, Relationships\, and Equality (MORE) in the Department of Consumer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \nThis event will be held on Zoom. You can register here. We will post a recording after the talk. You can see previous events here.

SUMMARY:Margaret Hicken: Landscapes of racial dispossession and control: Cultural and structural racism and population health inequities
DESCRIPTION:On November 13\, 2020\, Margaret Hicken\, a Research Associate Professor at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research Survey Research Center\, will present “Landscapes of racial dispossession and control: Cultural and structural racism and population health inequities” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2020-21 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. This year\, the CPC Interdisciplinary Research Seminars will be open to both CPC members and Social Epidemiology program members. \nAbstract: \nThe health inequalities between Black and White Americans have been well-documented for decades\, with much of the population and public health literature still focused on individual-level behaviors and health care. A small but growing literature has called for an emphasis on structural racism as the root driver of these inequalities\, but often focus solely on single institutional aspects of US structure\, on contemporary forms of racism\, and/or on the psychosocial impact of racism. In the Landscapes of Racial Dispossession and Control project\, historical and contemporary forms of racial violence are linked through notions of cultural racism to result in sustained racial health inequalities. Cultural racism is composed of our shared values\, ideologies\, and beliefs of what it means to be American. These value systems then shape the ways our interconnected and symbiotic institutions operate to create our social structure. In other words\, cultural racism shapes the structural answers to “Whose life counts?”. With a framework linking cultural and structural racism through history\, the fundamental drivers — and potential intervention points — of contemporary population health inequalities becomes clearer. \nBio: \nMaggie Hicken is an interdisciplinary population health scientist with training in both demography and epidemiology as well as molecular and cellular biology and population genetics. She examines notions of cultural and structural racism and their relation to health inequities through biological mechanisms. Much of her research to date has focused on cultural racism and the toxic burden of vigilance on the part of Black Americans as they navigate everyday White space as well as on modifying impact of biosocial stress on the association between environmental hazards and health. With her K01 award\, she gained training in population genetics and has examined the role of the social environment in the link between genes and chronic conditions. Further\, with her current R01-funded research\, she is examining the both historical and contemporary forms of residential segregation\, the interactive impact of social stressors and environmental hazards\, and DNA methylation patterns that might be associated with racial inequalities in aging. Through each thread of her research\, Dr. Hicken weaves together theory from the humanities\, legal studies\, and social science to clarify the root causes of racial health inequalities. \nThis event will be held on Zoom and is closed to the public. We will post a recording after the talk. You can see previous events here.

SUMMARY:Tyson Brown: Structural Racism and Health Stratification in the U.S.: Connecting Theory to Measurement
DESCRIPTION:On October 16\, 2020\, Tyson Brown\, an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and the director of the Center on Health & Society at Duke University\, will present “Structural Racism and Health Stratification in the U.S.: Connecting Theory to Measurement” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2020-21 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. This year\, the CPC Interdisciplinary Research Seminars will be open to both CPC members and Social Epidemiology program members. \nAbstract: \nDespite the centrality of structural explanations for understanding racialized inequality\, less than one percent of studies on the link between race and health have focused on structural racism. Moreover\, there has often been a disconnect between the conceptualization of structural racism in the race theory literature and the measurement strategies used in population health research.  This study advances the field by 1) synthesizing literatures on macro-level structural racism and population health to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the links between them\, 2) measuring macro-level structural racism in U.S. states across multiple domains\, including political participation\, education\, economics\, housing\, and the judicial system\, and 3) quantifying the effects of structural racism on multiple health outcomes among middle-aged and older Blacks and Whites. We use administrative data measuring state-level racial stratification linked to geocoded individual-level demographic and health data from the Health and Retirement Study (N=9\,126). Results show that structural racism is associated with worse health for Blacks but not Whites. By distilling the central tenets of structural racism theories and concretizing them in a way that improves our ability to measure structural racism\, this study demonstrates the utility of macro-level approaches to understanding the deleterious impact of racism on health. \nBiography: \nDr. Brown’s program of research examines the who\, when\, and how questions regarding ethnoracial inequalities in health and wealth. He has authored numerous articles in leading sociology and population health journals\, and his research contributions have been recognized with awards from the American Sociological Association. Brown is also the recipient of Duke University’s Thomas Langford Lectureship Award. In addition\, he has been awarded funding for his training and research from the Robert Wood Johnson and Ford Foundations as well as the National Institutes of Health. \nBrown is currently working on several projects that investigate macro-level factors and psychosocial mechanisms that underlie social inequalities in health. The first project\, “Structural Racism and Health Stratification in the U.S.: Connecting Theory to Measurement\,” is on the conceptualization and measurement of state-level structural racism and its effects on population health. The second project uses robust analytic techniques to quantify the contributions of socioeconomic adversity and stress processes to ethnoracial inequalities in health. \nProfessor Brown is actively engaged in service at the university and national level. He founded and co-organizes Duke’s Writing and ReseArch Productivity (WRAP) Group\, which aims to promote excellence in scholarship and support Black faculty by creating protected writing time and a space that enhances faculty inclusion and sense of community. Brown has also served in leadership position within professional organizational as well as on the editorial boards of top journals such as Social Forces\, Social Psychology Quarterly\, Journals of Gerontology\, and the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. \nThis event will be held on Zoom and is closed to the public. We will post a recording after the talk. You can see previous events here.

SUMMARY:Chantel Martin: Embodying Place: Neighborhood Environment and Health Disparities
DESCRIPTION:On September 25\, 2020\, Chantel Martin\, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Faculty Fellow at the Carolina Population Center\, will present “Embodying Place: Neighborhood Environment and Health Disparities” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2020-21 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. This year\, the CPC Interdisciplinary Research Seminars will be open to both CPC members and Social Epidemiology program members. \nChantel Martin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Faculty Fellow at the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As an epidemiologist\, Dr. Martin’s research seeks to uncover social and biological mechanisms of health disparities across the life course. By identifying the long-term health effects of social stressors\, her multidisciplinary research aims to improve health among racial/ethnic minorities and eliminate health disparities. Dr. Martin’s work currently investigates how social and environmental factors during early life stages\, such as pregnancy\, childhood\, and adolescence\, become biologically embodied to impact risk of chronic disease and health disparities within and across generations. Her research is currently supported by two NIMHD grants: the K99/R00 Pathways to Independence Award and the Social Epigenomics Research Focused on Minority Health and Health Disparities program. Chantel received her PhD in Epidemiology from UNC Chapel Hill and her MSPH from UNC Charlotte. \nHer talk will explore biological embodiment of the social environment\, its influence on cardiometabolic health\, and potential biological mechanisms that may partially explain associations. \nThis event will be held on Zoom and is closed to the public. We will post a recording after the talk. You can see previous events here.
