Partners for Advancing Health Equity (P4HE Collaborative), in collaboration with the Roger Thayer Stone Center for Latin American Studies, is excited to introduce a three-part virtual workshop series dedicated to amplifying voices within Latin American and Caribbean communities working on public health related issues through the lens of community engagement.
In this series we will showcase work being undertaken in Central and South America, as well as with diaspora communities in the U.S., that explores the intersection of community engagement, public health, and health equity.
The series features facilitator Dr. Judith Anderson, a cultural anthropologist and professor whose work focuses on community engagement and mobilization among African and Afro-descendants in Argentina. We will also have other panelists join us who have worked on HIV responses among Honduran immigrants in New York, as well as a panelist who helped mobilize practitioners of Candomblé, a Yoruba-based religious tradition in Brazil, to respond to the COVID-19 epidemic.
Through this series, we aim to showcase efforts and strategies to support community engagement as a tool of public health practice.
