 \nNOTE: Social gathering (Open area outside Rm 1140) 3:30 to 4 pm\n\nAbstr
 act\n\nResidential segregation— and the interrelated processes of disinves
 tment and dispossession in Black communities— are among the most visible m
 anifestations of structural racism in the United States and other racializ
 ed societies. It is one way that racism becomes both embedded in the brick
  and mortar and the social fabric of cities\, large and small\, and “embod
 ied\,” ultimately leading to striking health inequities between communitie
 s separated by relatively short distances. At the same time\, Black commun
 ities that have endured the intergenerational embodiment of structural rac
 ism\, have also persisted\, and in some instances resisted\, strategically
  leveraging collective\, grassroots power for transformative change. Using
  empirical evidence and case studies from the United States and Brazil\, t
 his talk will examine embodied racism and embodied resistance and discuss 
 insights for advancing antiracism scholarship and solutions beyond the pan
 demic.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n	Define structural racism and its salien
 ce to racial health inequities in the United States and globally\n	Examine 
 empirical evidence linking racial residential segregation to racial health
  inequities in the U.S. and Brazil\n	Provide insights on advancing antiraci
 sm scholarship and solutions beyond the pandemic with an emphasis on the r
 ole of organizers\, activists\, and movements\n\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nDr. Shar
 relle Barber is a social epidemiologist and scholar-activist whose researc
 h focuses on the intersection of “place\, race\, and health” and examines 
 the role of structural racism in shaping health and racial/ethnic health i
 nequities among Black communities in the United States and Brazil. Through
  her empirical work\, she seeks to document how racism becomes 'embodied' 
 through the neighborhood context and how this fundamental structural deter
 minant of racial health inequities can be leveraged for transformative cha
 nge to advance anti-racism solutions.\n\nDr. Barber is an Assistant Profes
 sor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Drexel Univ
 ersity Dornsife School of Public Health. She also currently serves as the 
 Director of the Ubuntu Center on Racism\, Global Movements\, and Populatio
 n Health Equity which launched November 11\, 2021. The Ubuntu Center’s mis
 sion is to unite diverse partners to generate and translate evidence\, acc
 elerate antiracism solutions\, and transform the health of communities loc
 ally\, nationally\, and globally.\n\nDr. Barber’s empirical work and acade
 mic commentary has been published in leading academic journals including t
 he Lancet\, the American Journal of Public Health\, and Social Science and
  Medicine. Over the past 5 years\, she has served as Principal Investigato
 r on several externally funded research projects and has secured over $3 m
 illion dollars in funding from the National Institutes of Health\, the Rob
 ert Wood Johnson Foundation\, and the American Heart Association. She also
  serves as a co-investigator on several collaborative research projects in
 cluding the Pan-American Data Initiative for the Analysis of Population Ra
 cial/Ethnic Health Inequities— PAN-DIASPORA—designed to examine the availa
 bility\, quality and scope of data collected and used on racial/ethnic ine
 quities in urban areas in the Pan-American region. Dr. Barber has lectured
  and taught nationally and internationally about the impact of racism on h
 ealth inequities and serves on the Racial Equity Advisory Board for the La
 ncet.\n\nDuring the COVD-19 pandemic\, Dr. Barber provided expert commenta
 ry on the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 in Black communities for loc
 al\, national\, and international media outlets including the NY Times\, S
 mithsonian Magazine\, the Philadelphia Inquirer\, NPR and Al Jazeera. In M
 arch 2020\, she convened a group of public health experts from Harvard (FX
 B Center for Health and Human Rights)\, UCLA (Center for the Study of Raci
 sm\, Social Justice\, and Health)\, and other academic institutions across
  the country to serve as an advisory committee to the Poor People’s Campai
 gn\, providing justice-centered public health expertise for the movement a
 s it engaged in collective action and advocacy.\n\nDr. Barber received a D
 octor of Science (ScD) degree in Social Epidemiology from the Harvard T.H.
