Measuring Structural Racism: Lesson Learned from the Marvin Grey Matter Family

As part of the CASJPH Seminar Series, Paris “AJ” Adkins-Jackson, PhD, MPH, will present on "Measuring Structural Racism: Lesson Learned from the Marvin Grey Matter Family."
 

AJ is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Epidemiology and Sociomedical Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health. She is a multidisciplinary community-partnered health equity researcher who investigates the impact of structural racism, and other structural determinants, on healthy aging for historically marginalized groups like those racialized as Black and Pacific Islander. AJ currently studies the role of life course adverse community-level policing on well-being, cognitive function, and biological aging for older adults racialized as Black and LatinX. She also applies an anti-racist framework to test the effectiveness of art-based interventions and multisector partnerships to increase community health and institutional trustworthiness.
