Posted: 5/2/2024 (CSDE Seminar Series)
CSDE invites you to a seminar with Patricia Homan on Friday, May 10th from 12:30-1:30 PM in 360 PAR and on Zoom (register here). This seminar is co-sponsored by the Population Health Initiative. Patricia (Trish) Homan is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Associate Director of the Public Health Program at Florida State University. She is also an associate of FSU’s Pepper Institute on Aging and Public Policy and the Center for Demography and Population Health. Her research focuses on developing theory and measurement for structural sexism, structural racism, and other forms of structural oppression, and examining how these forces shape health in the United States. Dr. Homan will be available for 1×1 meetings throughout the day (sign up here).
Abstract: Emerging lines of research have begun to quantify various forms of structural oppression and examine their impacts on population health. In this talk, Dr. Homan will: 1) provide an overview of current conceptualization and measurement of structural sexism, structural racism, and other forms of structural oppression, 2) present new evidence on how structural sexism shapes life expectancy in the US (from analyses using hazard modeling and multistate lifetables), 3) illustrate how structural sexism and racism are associated with rates of inter-state migration, 4) discuss how demographers can build on this work in future research.
