In celebration of Black History Month, this special episode features Dean Cheryl Healton discussing the importance of diversity in public health academia with Dr. Melody Goodman, Associate Dean for Research and Associate Professor of Biostatistics. In 1999, Dean Healton published a study called “The Shape of our River,” and years later Dr. Goodman collaborated with her on a new report called “Racial/Ethnic Diversity in Academic Public Health: 20-Year Update”. Join us as they discuss their work and the importance of minority inclusion in public health academia.
