To Work In A Field Centered In Health Equity And Social Justice, Public Health Curriculum Reform Is Essential, Leso Munala, Elizabeth Allen

Public Health Faculty Scholarship

In examining the subject of social justice in public health literature, the word “inextricably” is often used to define the inherent tie between the two. As public health aims to improve the health outcomes of all populations, social justice is argued to be the philosophy on which public health is based - its core value. Effectively addressing complex global health problems requires interpretative methods, critical knowledge, historical perspectives, and values infrastructure. We proposed an MPH curriculum reform with a more explicit focus on social justice.

Educating Women To Lead: The Role Of Women-Focused Institutions, Adriana Cortes-Mendosa

Antonian Scholars Honors Program

This paper explores the importance of women-focused institutions in the choice of college major for women.
