CSDE Affiliate Edmund Seto (Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences) and co-authors recently published an article in the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, titled, “Accessibility To Ethnic Food Stores Authorized by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Washington State.” Lead author and recent UW MPH graduate, Kana Ogaki and her advisor Dr. Pia Chaparro, who is Assistant Professor in Health Systems and Population Health assessed the availability and distribution of WIC-authorized ethnic stores in WA, relative to the location of immigrant WIC-eligible populations. Census tracts with higher proportions of foreign-born individuals and WIC-eligible children had better physical access to WIC-authorized ethnic stores, though these stores are rare. Read more.

Berlin Demography Days 2025: Demography and Democracy
Save the date: 27 and 28 October 2025
The electoral successes of anti-democratic movements cannot be explained solely by the demographic or socio-economic characteristics of individual groups. More decisive are local perceptions of problems and narratives of loss in the context of demographic change. These manifest in a perceived political overload, blame and the supposed failure of ‘established’ politics.
Together with experts from academia, political foundations, and governments, we analyse these demographic trends and discuss practical solutions at the regional and local level.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
