Racism is recognized as a public health crisis, and the ultimate social determinant of health, by both the American Public Health Association and the Centers for Disease Control. At GPH we affirm that health is a human right, and we're actively working to build an anti-racism culture using curriculum, labs and applied practice opportunities.
At heart of these efforts, the Center for Anti-Racism, Social Justice & Public Health strives to develop research, policies and model practices in a collaborative, scholarly environment. Our vision for the Center includes:
- An anti-racism and social justice symposium
- Quarterly seminars and training sessions
- A Center Scholars program featuring NYU faculty
- Pilot and supplemental grants
- Pipeline programs to increase diversity in public health
- A visiting faculty program
- A pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellows program
- A summer internship program
