Nexus Conference Recordings

During the month of October we had our first of the second series of "Dialogue on Disparities" with Dr. Jeff Rose discussing Homelessness: Communities on the Edge. This was also the inagural lecture with the new NEXUS director, Lori Kowaleski-Jones. 

During the month of March there were two events. The first outlined research funding opportunities inside the realm of inequality and disparities. 

The other was a presentation from Dr. Michelle Debbink "Racial and ethnic inequities inSevere Maternal Morbidity: How a reproductive justice and population health lens can help to move the needle" Research Opportunities.

"The Science of Art: Perspectives on Embedding Concepts of Diversity and Inclusion into Academics"

Dr. Butt will share his experiences in teaching and research that helped him appreciate and leverage a variety of perspectives and backgrounds.

He will lead a discussion on brainstorming on what we can do together to advance the new 1U initiative: a Fair and

Equitable Society.

 "Impacts of Structural Inequality and Pandemic Policies on COVID-19 Outcomes at the Neighborhood Level in Salt Lake County" with Dr. Tabitha Benney and Dr. Daniel Mendoza
