Summer Institute at Columbia

Columbia University, in New York City, is hosting their 2015 Summer Institute, "Narrating Population Health: Oral History, Disparity, and Social Change."

Columbia University, in New York City, is hosting their 2015 Summer Institute, “Narrating Population Health: Oral History, Disparity, and Social Change.” The program, which will be held from June 15-26, will focus on ways that scholars and advocates have used oral history to illuminate the impact of inequitable distribution of health resources in local and global communities. Through workshops and presentations, participants will develop skills in interviewing, analysis, interdisciplinary research methods, and digital oral history application.

Presenters include medical researchers, historians, population health experts, and sociologists. The areas of focus will be: mass incarceration, reproductive rights, harm reduction, HIV/AIDS, addiction, stigma, and discrimination and the impact of the built environment on health.

Applications will be accepted until April 15, yet, if you have them submitted by February 28, your application will be given higher priority.
