Apply to attend the Urban Affairs Association Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on April 26th, 2023! The conference will be focused on Economic Inclusion, details follow below and application can be found here.

The concept of economic inclusion has been articulated in several ways, but essentially means to create equitable access to resources and opportunities that support self-sufficiency and economic security. Research on economic inclusion covers a broad range of subtopics focused on:

• Identifying and dismantling access barriers to resources, opportunities, services, and human rights (e.g., discrimination in lending and employment; access barriers to investment capital among women, Black, indigenous, and people of color; entrepreneurial ecosystems)
• Measurement and remediation of economic inequality and disparities that maintain disadvantage and marginality (e.g., gender and racial wage gaps; living wage campaigns)
• Creation of new opportunities and support structures (e.g., community-based credit unions; small business incubators; supplier diversity programs; micro-loans; mentorship programs)

This workshop is designed to expose participants to current research on economic inclusion, heighten their understanding of research challenges, and provide professional networking opportunities.

The Department of Public Health at Wayne State University invites applications for MULTIPLE tenure-track Assistant Professor positions. We seek active and engaged colleagues with demonstrated research, teaching, and service interests in ELIMINATING HEALTH DISPARITIES AND SOCIAL INEQUALITIES.  Candidates may center their work in a wide range of areas including, but not limited to, gun violence and crime; neighborhood and built environment impacts; chronic disease; forced migration; food and housing insecurity; substance use, addiction, and recovery; disability; COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, or other infectious diseases; trauma and mental health; and health care access and delivery.

Candidates should have substantive scholarly expertise in one or more defined areas of public health research and practice.  We seek colleagues with an active research program, demonstrated potential for published scholarship, and an ability to draw on this research to inform their teaching and service. Candidates engaged in multidisciplinary research, community-based research collaborations, and social justice and advocacy research are strongly encouraged to apply. We value applications from persons with experience conducting community-based intervention research with vulnerable, underserved, and urban populations that may utilize a range of quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g., ethnography, Photovoice, and mixed methods).

The Department of Health Policy and Organization, School of Public Health (SOPH) at The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) seeks applications from dynamic scholars to join our department.
