Interpersonal discrimination contributes to health inequalities for disadvantaged groups across numerous stigmatized identities. In this talk, Prof. Laura Richman and Prof. Micah Lattanner will discuss a theoretical framework for understanding the effects of discrimination on health and will present some recent empirical findings in support of their model. They will then discuss aspirations for the field including innovations in study design that incorporate multiple levels of discrimination (e.g., structural stigma), consider multiple identities, and measure a wider range of objective physical health outcomes. Finally, they will address policy and legal avenues to address health inequity in an administration that is hostile to these scholarly pursuits.
Prof. Laura Richman is an Associate Professor of Social Science and Health Law at the George Washington University Law School, a health psychologist, and a health policy scholar who investigates the social and environmental factors that contribute to health disparities. Relying primarily on legal epidemiology and social science methods, her research program examines the influence of social status, discrimination, gentrification, and social network characteristics on health behaviors and health outcomes.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
