Our SPH Social Justice History

Public health is shaped by understanding and addressing the social determinants of health. Therefore, social justice is fundamental to our field. As a School, we strive to incorporate social justice through initiatives that foster support and knowledge around antiracism, decolonization, and health and social equity. We recognize that this is an ongoing journey that requires collaborative efforts

We stand with the American Public Health Association and the Association of Schools & Programs in Public Health in declaring racism a public health crisis.
