11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Join us on April 8th, 2026 for an edition of the UHC's Invited Speaker
Series with Mariana Arcaya, Professor of Urban Planning & Public Health at
MIT!
Arcaya is a social epidemiologist and urban planner whose work explores
dynamic relationships between geographic contexts, particularly neighborhoods,
and health. Mariana conducts scholarly and policy-relevant research in two main
areas:
- bi-directional relationships between place and health, including how
health considerations shape socioeconomic outcomes for individuals and
communities
- Applied and translational research on the social
determinants of health, particularly health risk factors shaped by urban policy
and planning decisions.
Registration is free for all in the DSPH community. If you plan to attend
in person, no need to register; we'll see you at Nesbitt!
