CSDE Welcomes Four New Affiliates!
CSDE’s Executive Committee is pleased to introduce four of our new UW Faculty Affiliates:
- Kessie Alexandre — Assistant Professor, Geography. Dr. Alexandre’s research focuses on public health risk and ethics; environmental racism; climate justice and the social implications of climate change adaptation; Black geographies and diaspora; and the politics and ethics of infrastructure. Her first book project, Floods and Fountains, is an ethnographic study of water insecurity and civic participation in Newark, New Jersey.
- Magda Boutros — Assistant Professor, Sociology. Dr. Boutros is a sociologist who studies social movements against policing and the criminal justice system. Her book project examines contemporary French social and political mobilizations against racialized policing practices.
- Jin-Kyu Jung — Associate Professor, School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences. Dr. Jung is an urban geographer and planner whose interdisciplinary research develops new ways of critical, qualitative, and creative possibilities of Geographic Information Sciences (GIS) and geographic visualization in understanding socio-spatial processes and politics of urban space and community.
- Maya Magarati — Acting Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Dr. Magarati is core faculty in Seven Directions, A Center for Indigenous Public Health, a part of the Center for the Study of Health and Risk Behaviors. She incorporates Indigenous, landscape-based, culture-centered epistemologies in substance use, mental health, STI/HIV and environmental health research and evaluation.
Training Opportunity in Research Integrity
UW researchers are invited to join the 2022 Biomedical Research Integrity program. The U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) requires that all pre- and post-doctoral researchers supported by PHS training grants receive training in the responsible conduct of research. The University of Washington School of Medicine Department of Bioethics and Humanities and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center developed BRI to enable its researchers to meet the PHS requirement. Lectures are open to the public, all are welcome. Register for BRI discussions and lectures, to occur July 5-September 9.
Glass, Geerkens, and Martin Publish Systematic Review on Factors Affecting Female Pubertal Timing
CSDE Trainee Delaney Glass, co-author Joy Geerkens, and CSDE Affiliate Melanie Martin recently published a review article surveying studies that examine measures of both prepubertal growth (e.g., weight, height) and psychosocial stressors (e.g., adversity, father absence) in relation to female pubertal timing. The authors motivate this research with the lack of discussion around causal mechanisms in studies of psychosocial stressors effects on puberty, opening up the potential for confounding mechanisms assessed here.
