Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society

Dr. Arline Geronimus, Professor of Health Behavior and Health Education at the University of Michigan, is a national and international leader in population health and “has made unique and seminal contributions to theory, empirical research, methodology, and practice as it relates to diversity. Her interdisciplinary abilities and collaborations have been consistently at the vanguard of several fields including public health, medicine, economics, political science, critical race theory, and applied anthropology.” Dr. Geronimus, who coined the term “weathering” to describe the damaging effects of systemic oppression on the health of marginalized individuals, will join us via Zoom to discuss her ground-breaking research explored in her much-heralded new book Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society.
