Cook Center October Colloquium: The Biology and Burden of Inequality: Structural Stressors, Resilience and Health Equity

Why do inequities in social and economic conditions translate into inequities in health? This colloquium will feature research from Drs. Keisha Bentley-Edwards and Latesha Harris examining how structural factors, including racism and socioeconomic disadvantage, interact with psychosocial stressors to shape health across the life course. The discussion will highlight emerging evidence on the biological consequences of chronic adversity, pathways to cardiometabolic risk, and the role of resilience, community strengths, and intervention science in promoting health equity.

Be part of the conversation. Join faculty, staff and students as we share new research, spark interdisciplinary exchange and build a community dedicated to advancing equity.Lunch will be provided.
