SUMMARY:PSU Faculty-Led: Mexico Travel Abroad Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Indigenous Health Equity Through Food Sovereignty\, Activism and Healing\nThis two-week immersive program in Oaxaca\, Mexico invites students to explore Indigenous health equity through land-based learning\, community engagement\, and traditional healing practices. In partnership with Spanish House MX\, participants will learn from Indigenous knowledge holders\, traditional ecological practitioners\, food sovereignty leaders\, and community activists working to advance cultural preservation and environmental stewardship. Through experiential workshops\, archaeological site visits\, and hands-on cultural activities\, students will examine the deep interconnections between land\, identity\, wellness\, and justice in Oaxacan Indigenous communities. \nThe curriculum weaves together public health\, Indigenous studies\, environmental justice\, and decolonizing methodologies. Students will participate in temazcal (traditional sweat-lodge) ceremonies\, medicinal plant workshops\, cooking classes\, artisan craft sessions\, and guided visits to Monte Albán and regional cultural centers. Academic discussions and reflective practices—grounded in Indigenous values of balance\, community\, respect\, and relationality—encourage students to critically examine colonial histories and contemporary movements for Indigenous resurgence. \nParticipants are housed in centrally located hotels in Oaxaca’s historic center and travel via private transportation for all program activities. With daily breakfast\, local coordination\, bilingual staff\, and structured reflection sessions\, the program offers a supportive environment for deep cultural learning. By the end of the experience\, students will gain new insights into Indigenous health sovereignty and develop skills that support culturally responsive\, community-centered public health practice. \nZoom Link: https://pdx.zoom.us/j/84027427294 \nREGISTER FOR INFO SESSIONS

SUMMARY:Stats & Stanzas Lab
DESCRIPTION:Every social movement of health consequence has been backed by songs\, poems\, and dance to codify resistance\, galvanize community\, inspire imagination\, and testify for more just futures. For those of us “at the margins\,” creative modes of expression have always been critical to our learning and survival. For us\, “poetry is not a luxury” (Lorde). Poetry offers a necessary space for healing\, resistance\, and resurgence as public health continues the struggle towards health justice. It has the power to push boundaries and reimagine narratives of health equity—opening new dialogues that (re)center the voice and agency of those most burdened by social inequality. \nIn a time when LOVE *and* RESISTANCE must be simultaneous acts\, this “lab” will continue the work of illuminating the necessity of both STATS *and* STANZAS to create public health futures of radical possibility. Through engaging poetry as praxis\, we’ll explore the epistemological\, ethical\, and material imperative of remixing/reimagining public health knowledge production\, expression\, and curation practices to more fully—and unapologetically—”center the margins\,” with poetry a necessary format of health equity discourse for resistance\, refusal\, and healing. \nA space and community of/for poetic health justice at the intersections of poetry & public health\, created & curated via: \n\nReading poetry\nReading/critiquing public health literature\nWriting & workshopping poetry\nPoetry workshops w/ guest facilitators\nOpen mic nights / poetry reading events\nPoetry contests\nPoetry chapbooks\nPublishing poetry\nLectures\, panels\, & invited speakers\n\nPI (Poetic Instigator): Dr. Ryan J. Petteway\, Associate Professor\, SPH \nCo-PIs: Looking for 1 undergraduate and 1 graduate student… \nMembers/Participants/Poets: Students\, faculty\, & staff in SPH \nQuestions: petteway@pdx.edu

SUMMARY:OCTRI-BERD Seminar - Algorithmic bias: a practical introduction
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Alicia Johnson\, MPH \nClinical algorithms assist healthcare providers with decision-making based on a small set of demographic and clinical characteristics. While they can be useful tools\, algorithms are created using data from sources such as electronic health records or longitudinal studies. They reflect the features present in that data – which may include a lack of representation of various subgroups of the population\, selection bias that may differ among subgroups\, systematic measurement error\, and more. In clinical settings\, these biases can manifest as results that may be inaccurate for certain groups of patients\, potentially leading to misdiagnosis\, missed opportunities for treatment\, and other undesirable outcomes. \nThis talk provides an introduction to the concept of algorithmic bias\, illustrating how it may show up through examples from various areas in medicine. The goal of this talk is to support attendees in understanding algorithmic bias\, the limitations of clinical prediction rules\, and the impact algorithmic bias may have on patients. We will also discuss how to begin to identify and minimize the impact of algorithmic bias. \nThis introductory seminar is appropriate for those who are familiar with clinical algorithms and are curious to learn about their limitations. Healthcare providers\, analysts\, students\, and others are welcome. \nRegister via Compass. This seminar will be recorded.

SUMMARY:Stats & Stanzas Lab
DESCRIPTION:Every social movement of health consequence has been backed by songs\, poems\, and dance to codify resistance\, galvanize community\, inspire imagination\, and testify for more just futures. For those of us “at the margins\,” creative modes of expression have always been critical to our learning and survival. For us\, “poetry is not a luxury” (Lorde). Poetry offers a necessary space for healing\, resistance\, and resurgence as public health continues the struggle towards health justice. It has the power to push boundaries and reimagine narratives of health equity—opening new dialogues that (re)center the voice and agency of those most burdened by social inequality. \nIn a time when LOVE *and* RESISTANCE must be simultaneous acts\, this “lab” will continue the work of illuminating the necessity of both STATS *and* STANZAS to create public health futures of radical possibility. Through engaging poetry as praxis\, we’ll explore the epistemological\, ethical\, and material imperative of remixing/reimagining public health knowledge production\, expression\, and curation practices to more fully—and unapologetically—”center the margins\,” with poetry a necessary format of health equity discourse for resistance\, refusal\, and healing. \nA space and community of/for poetic health justice at the intersections of poetry & public health\, created & curated via: \n\nReading poetry\nReading/critiquing public health literature\nWriting & workshopping poetry\nPoetry workshops w/ guest facilitators\nOpen mic nights / poetry reading events\nPoetry contests\nPoetry chapbooks\nPublishing poetry\nLectures\, panels\, & invited speakers\n\nPI (Poetic Instigator): Dr. Ryan J. Petteway\, Associate Professor\, SPH \nCo-PIs: Looking for 1 undergraduate and 1 graduate student… \nMembers/Participants/Poets: Students\, faculty\, & staff in SPH \nQuestions: petteway@pdx.edu

SUMMARY:ASPPH -  Lessons from the Community: How Academic Public Health–Community Partnerships Make an Impact
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person or virtually for Lessons from the Community: How Academic Public Health–Community Partnerships Make an Impact on February 18\, 2026 from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM ET. Hosted with the Indiana University Indianapolis Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health\, this hybrid event will bring together community members\, students\, faculty\, and public health leaders to reflect on what it truly takes to build trust and create meaningful impact through community-engaged work. \nAs part of ASPPH’s national Public Health Listening Tour\, this event centers on a guiding principle: the community is our teacher. Panelists will share lived experiences from community-engaged work in Indianapolis and beyond\, exploring what strengthens partnerships\, what has fallen short\, and what academic public health can do differently moving forward. The conversation will emphasize listening\, learning\, and mutual accountability as essential foundations for trust and lasting impact. \nThis 90-minute event will highlight the perspectives of individuals who are deeply engaged in community-centered public health work\, including community partners and advocates\, public health students\, faculty involved in community-based research and practice\, and other local voices working at the intersection of public health and community priorities. They will discuss what real impact looks like when communities are not just included\, but truly centered. \nModerated by Dr. Thomas Duszynski\, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Indiana University Indianapolis\, the discussion will feature voices from ASPPH leadership\, students\, faculty\, journalists\, and community partners. Panelists will reflect on the relationships between communities and academic institutions\, with an emphasis on what ethical\, transparent\, and accountable engagement should look like in practice. \nInsights from this session will help guide our collective work toward a more responsive\, ethical\, and community-centered future for academic public health. We hope you’ll join us either in person or virtually for this important conversation. \nREGISTER FOR EVENT
