SUMMARY:Margaret Sheridan: Deprivation and threat\, testing conceptual model of adversity exposure and developmental outcomes
DESCRIPTION:On April 9\, 2021\, Margaret Sheridan\, an Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, will present “Deprivation and threat\, testing conceptual model of adversity exposure and developmental outcomes” 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: \nExposure to childhood adversity is common and associated with a host of negative developmental outcomes as well as differences in neural structure and function. It is commonly posited that these social experiences “get under the skin” in early childhood\, increasing long-term risk through disruptions to biology. In this talk I propose a novel approach to studying the link between adversity\, brain development\, and risk for psychopathology\, the dimensional model of adversity and psychopathology (DMAP). In this model we propose that adversity exposure can be defined according to  different dimensions which we expect to impact health and well-being through different neural substrates. Whereas we expect deprivation to primarily disrupt function and structure of lateral association cortex (e.g.\, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and superior parietal cortex) and thus complex cognitive processing such as executive functioning. In contrast\, we expect threat to alter structure and function of subcortical structures such as the hippocampus and amygdala and midline regions associated with emotion regulation such as the ventral medial prefrontal cortex and thus\, associated emotion reactivity and automatic regulation processes. In a series of studies I test the basic tenants of the DMAP concluding that initial evidence\, using both a priori hypothesis testing and data-driven approaches is consistent with the proposed model. I conclude by describing future work addressing multiple dimensions of adversity and potential adjustments to the model. \nBio: \nMargaret Sheridan is an Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is the director of the Child Imaging Research on Cognition and Life Experiences Lab (CIRCLE Lab). Margaret’s research examines typical and atypical neurodevelopment of the prefrontal cortex and related systems supporting development of executive function across age. In particular within the CIRCLE lab we examine how early life experiences ranging from maltreatment to poverty or institutionalization impact neural development leading to risk for externalizing psychopathology. Our work has demonstrated that exposure to a variety of early life adversities are related to deficits in function of the prefrontal cortex and that different exposures may impact neural development in specific ways. In particular exposures to threat or violence may impact neural development and thus risk for externalizing psychopathology differently than exposures characterized by a lack of social interaction\, cognitive enrichment\, and complex linguistic experience. The CIRCLE lab uses multiple neuroimaging methods (e.g.\, EEG/ERP\, fMRI\, structural MRI) and multiple behavioral methods (e.g.\, cognitive testing\, structured clinical interview\, in home observation) to achieve these goals. \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:Nancy Krieger: COVID-19\, structural racism\, embodied histories\, and the two-edged sword of data: structural problems require structural solutions
DESCRIPTION:On April 23\, 2021\, Nancy Krieger\, Professor of Social Epidemiology\, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences\, and Director of the HSPH Interdisciplinary Concentration on Women\, Gender\, and Health.\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, will present “COVID-19\, structural racism\, embodied histories\, and the two-edged sword of data: structural problems require structural solutions” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2020-2021 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nSuggested readings from Dr. Krieger \nAbstract: \nCOVID-19 has pulled the thread\, starkly revealing both profound connections – and profound divisions – both within the US and within and between countries worldwide\, with risk of infection\, illness\, and death profoundly and inequitably socially structured. Analyzing and acting to alter the myriad ways in which structural racism systemically generates health inequities\, including for COVID-19\, requires engaging with the two-edged sword of data. This sword cuts deeply with respect to the profound challenges of conceptualizing\, operationalizing\, and analyzing the very data deployed – i.e.\, racialized categories – to document racialized health inequities. In my presentation\, I use the example of COVID-19 to dissect the sword’s two edges: (1) the non-use (Edge #1) and (2) problematic use (Edge #2) of data on racialized groups – but the point is data for health justice. Because structural problems require structural solutions\, for both data and action for health justice\, I conclude with recommendations for a new feasible enforceable institutional mandate for the reporting and analysis of publicly-funded work involving racialized groups and health data. A core requirement is that racialized health data must always be conceptually justified and analyzed in relation to relevant data about racialized societal inequities. A new opportunity arises as US government agencies re-engage with their work\, with a stated commitment to racial and economic justice\, to move forward with structural measures to sharpen and strengthen the work for health equity. \nBio: \nNancy Krieger is Professor of Social Epidemiology and American Cancer Society Clinical Research Professor\, in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) and Director of the HSPH Interdisciplinary Concentration on Women\, Gender\, and Health. She received her PhD in Epidemiology from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989. Dr. Krieger is an internationally recognized social epidemiologist\, with a background in biochemistry\, philosophy of science\, and the history of public health\, combined with over 35 years of activism linking issues involving social justice\, science\, and health. In 2004\, she became an ISI highly cited scientist (reaffirmed: 2015 ISI update)\, a group comprising “less than one-half of one percent of all publishing researchers\,” and in 2019 she was ranked as being “in the top 0.01% of scientists based on your impact” for both total career and in 2017 by a new international standardized citations metrics author database\, including as #1 among the 90 top scientists listed for 2017 with a primary field of public health and secondary field of epidemiology (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3000384). In 2013 she received the Wade Hampton Frost Award from the Epidemiology Section of the American Public Health Association\, and in 2015\, she was awarded the American Cancer Society Clinical Research Professorship\, which was renewed in 2020; also in 2020\, she was awarded the American College of Epidemiology’s “Outstanding Contributions to Epidemiology” award. \nInformed by an analysis of the history and politics of epidemiology and public health\, Dr. Krieger’s work addresses three topics: (1) conceptual frameworks to understand\, analyze\, and improve the people’s health\, including her ecosocial theory of disease distribution\, focused on embodiment and equity; (2) etiologic research on societal determinants of population health and health inequities\, including structural racism and other types of adverse discrimination; and (3) methodologic research to improve monitoring of health inequities. She is author of Epidemiology and The People’s Health: Theory and Context (Oxford University Press (OUP)\, 2011) and editor for the OUP series “Small Books Big Ideas in Population Health” (starting with Political Epidemiology & The People’s Health\, by Jason Beckfield\, OUP\, 2018; Climate Change & The People’s Health\, by Sharon Friel\, OUP\, 2019; and Critical Epidemiology & The People’s Health by Jaime Brielh\, OUP\, 2021). She also is editor of Embodying Inequality: Epidemiologic Perspectives (Baywood Press\, 2004) and co-editor\, with Glen Margo\, of AIDS: The Politics of Survival (Baywood Publishers\, 1994)\, and\, with Elizabeth Fee\, of Women’s Health\, Politics\, and Power: Essays on Sex/Gender\, Medicine\, and Public Health (Baywood Publishers\, 1994). In 1994 she co-founded\, and still chairs\, the Spirit of 1848 Caucus of the American Public Health Association\, which focuses on links between social justice and public health. \n  \nWe record as many videos as possible.

SUMMARY:J. Richard Udry Distinguished Lecture: Teresa Seeman: Aging Trajectories Through Biopsychosocial Lens
DESCRIPTION:The J. Richard Udry Distinguished Lecture will be held on April 30\, 2020. \nTeresa Seeman\, PhD\, will present “Aging Trajectories Through Biopsychosocial Lens.” Seeman is Professor of Epidemiology at the Fielding School of Public Health and of Medicine in the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Trained as an epidemiologist\, with post-doctoral training in neuroendocrinology\, her research interests are inter-disciplinary\, focusing on role of social and psychological factors in health and aging\, with particular interest in elucidating the biological pathways through which such factors impact on health. \nWorking in both community- and laboratory-based contexts\, her work has documented the widespread health effects of protective social factors (e.g.\, social relationships) and psychological characteristics (e.g.\, control beliefs\, perceptions of self-efficacy)\, including effects on risks for physical and cognitive decline as well as overall longevity. Her research has also contributed to our understanding of how these social and psychological influences are mediated through multiple major biological regulatory systems. She has been a leader in empirical research on a multi-systems view of biological risk – allostatic load. \nHer work has shown that levels of allostatic load predict subsequent health outcomes\, and that differences in allostatic load are related to social factors\, including levels of social integration and support as well as more traditional measures of socio-economic status [SES]: higher allostatic load seen among those reporting less social integration and/or support and lower SES. Her current research is focused on developing more integrated models that incorporate consideration of life-course experiences with stressful and protective conditions and the cumulative impacts of these experiences on major biological regulatory systems that determine trajectories of health and longevity. \nAbstract: \nThe presentation will examine evidence linking socio-economic and socio-emotional life-histories to trajectories of aging with explicit attention to the multiple biological pathways involved in these relationships.  Taking a life-course perspective\, illustrative examples of the patterning of these relationships across the life-course will be reviewed.  Evidence of later-life plasticity of psychosocial and biological influences will be highlighted\, illustrating the potential for health promotion via psychosocial interventions even at later ages. \nAbout the annual J. Richard Udry Distinguished Lecture Series:  Dick Udry’s research was highly innovative and interdisciplinary—features that he embedded in the Carolina Population Center’s practices and culture as its Director. In recognition of his enduring contributions\, CPC named its distinguished lecture series in his honor. Previous presenters have included Dr. Lisa Berkman\, the Director of the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies\, the Director of Harvard’s PhD program in Population Health Sciences\, and the Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy\, Epidemiology\, and Global Health and Population (2019);  Dr. Douglas Massey\, Professor of Sociology at Princeton University (2018) and Dr. John Bongaarts\, Vice President and Distinguished Scholar of the Population Council (2017). \nThis event will be held on Zoom.
