UHC Invited Speaker Series: Rebekah Israel Cross
Wednesday, May 6, 2026
11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Join us on May 6th, 2026, for an edition of the UHC's Invited Speaker
Series with Rebekah Israel Cross, Assistant Professor of Public Health Sciences
at The University of Chicago!
Cross' research uses quantitative and qualitative methods to explore how
structural inequality impacts health. Her work involves conceptualizing and
measuring racism, unpacking the relationships between racism, housing, and
health, and highlighting how the field of public health perpetuates racism.
Recent publications include "Can neighborhood eviction filings explain the
impact of gentrification on preterm birth among Black birthing people in the
San Francisco Bay Area? A multi-level mediation analysis" and
"Linking Racism to HIV Care Continuum Engagement among African Americans:
A Scoping Review to Assess the State of the Science and Inform a Research
Agenda."
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!
