Health Equity Lectures, April 5th, 18th, 26th

The University of Washington Schools of Public Health, Nursing and Social Work are united in their commitment to promoting the health of all people and creating a more just society. Towards this end, our three school are collaboratively launching a new Health Equity Lecture Series.

The goal of this Lecture Series is to bring in thought leaders working on facets of health equity to catalyze conversations about how we can work more effectively with communities, each other and partner organizations to bring about positive change and how we can foster a more inclusive environment on our own campus. These lectures are open to the public, so we hope that you will forward information about them to friends, colleagues and community partners who are committed to the same issues and encourage them to attend.

As part of the new Health Equity Lecture Series, the School of Public Health will be hosting the following individuals in April 2019:

• Perry Halkitis, Dean of Public Health and Professor, Rutgers University: public lecture Friday, April 5, 4 p.m. in Hogness Auditorium. Dr. Halkitis researches health equity issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity
