The Department of Sociology will host a talk titled “Examining the Health Consequences of Race, Skin Color, and School Context” Friday, Feb. 26, at 12:30 p.m. Taylor Hargrove, professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will give the presentation.
Hargrove’s research seeks to uncover and explain the development of health disparities across the life course, focusing on the consequences of race, skin color, gender and socioeconomic status.
Her work addresses both between-group inequalities in health as well as sources of heterogeneity within groups that differentiate pathways to health. She is engaged in research that explores linkages among socio-geographic contexts, individual-level characteristics, and biological measures of health in early adulthood.
Space is limited and Zoom registration is required.
