Resisting Pathologies of Power and Place by Meeting Progressive Obligations for Health Equity

Overview

The design and implementation of this presentation fosters in participants a greater awareness of human, social, and cultural geography and their connections with health promotion disease prevention and control. Equally important, this session encourages learners to extend their advocacy for ‘upstream’ interventions that lead to social transformation for improvements in health equity. Moreover, this session nurtures concepts for most promising ways of ‘bringing theory to practice,’ while advancing an inclusive ‘culture of health’ that incorporates vital elements known to sustain health and human security. Throughout the session, evidence is supplied to help participates advocate for dignity and human development via universal progressive norms, conventions, and treaties. Political decisions have an impact on health equity and the social determinants of health. Undoing structural violence and resisting pathologies of power and place means developing human agency and intellectual empathy for health and social justice. Therefore, when human agency for health equity is at its best, then efforts for mitigation and elimination of health inequities are at their best! Under our Anthropocene which increasingly shows cataclysmic natural and human generated disasters. The seismic fault lines of our public health systems and services (PHSS) when exposed clearly reveal the impact and outcomes of syndemics with increases in morbidity and mortality. A diverse effective public health workforce must strongly consider using their agency to work upstream to transform public policies. Finally, this session calls for more public health action in community education about theories and methods for public health law research for equity and inclusion.

Objectives

Review and recall the importance of eco-social models and role of social epidemiology in support of health equity and justice.
Review and probe the merits (health risk health promotion) of health equity strategies promoted by CDC, WHO, and the American Public Health Association (APHA).
Analyze the merits of Critical Legal Studies and its use in transforming Public Health Systems and Services (PHSS) and Public Health Law Research (PHLR) for improvements in a Culture of Health Equity.
Review and analyze the impact of Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) [COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)] on Health Equity.
Explain and support Progressive Obligations for Health Equity.

The Inequity of Professional Feedback: The Need and Process of Building an Equitable Evaluation Process

Overview

Why is there such a lack of women of color in leadership? Hint: women of color don’t lack skills, drive or mentoring. Our society has built into evaluation and professional development the same unconscious bias, stereotypes, and systematic racism that exist, accepted, in other areas. Managing this inequity must go beyond the mentoring and skills development fellowships that we ask women of color to apply to, get nominated for or pay to attend. It means those in positions of privilege building an equitable evaluation process that creates a positive safe learning environment for giving and receiving professional feedback. This workshop is for those who evaluate and get evaluated, to learn what is inequitable about our current practices and develop new ways of interacting with supervisors, direct reports and peers.

How Does Data Contextualize How We Play in New Mexico? The Value Added by Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality for Social Justice Inquiry and Praxis

Overview

What’s Your Street Race? What’s Your Street Gender? What’s Your Ethnicity? What’s Your Class Origin? What’s Your Sexuality? This is an invitation to critical reflection on the value added by critical race theory and intersectionality for social justice equity-based policy and practice in New Mexico and beyond. Participants will be invited to identify their spheres of influence for system level transformations.

Objectives

Understand the levels of racism, critical race theory and colorblind racism and the importance of not flattening the difference between race and ethnicity (e.g., civil rights use of Census 2020 data and health disparities research; discuss the difference between social location, identity/affinity group and political/ethical values).
Develop an intersectionality lens or attention to the simultaneity of race/structural racism, tribal status/settler colonialism, gender/heteropatriarchy, class/racialized capitalism, nationality/nation, ethnicity/ethnocentrism, disability/ableism, flexible solidarity and transversal politics in a given context (e.g., how can intersectionality improve the way we define “at risk” students in the in New Mexico Funding Formula for Institutions of Higher Education).
Cultivate convergence spaces for developing sustainable communities of practice around equity-based inquiry and praxis in education, health, law enforcement, housing, employment, etc. (e.g., the New Mexico Race, Gender, Class Data Policy Consortium; coalition building, etc.).

A Native American Social and Community Context to Understanding Public Health

Overview

Native American people are among the most vulnerable populations in this Country. Statistics show that they have a high incarceration rate, especially among the juvenile population. Civic engagement and participation can be difficult to achieve when there are little to no resources to keep up with the daily needs of Native American groups. Being able to get a job, secure housing, or obtain a quality education, among other needs are part of many struggles Native Americans experience. Bringing communities together to address social issues can be difficult but there is hope.

The workshop is an extension of the social determinants of health and will provide information on the elements of community participation and information needed to increase positive health outcomes for Native Americans. Topic areas covered in this workshop will include: 1) civic engagement and participation, 2) institutional racism, 3) incarceration, and 4) social cohesion.

Democracy and Health Equity

Overview

Public health is a field largely focused on prevention. Investment in public health is often a hard sell for elected officials and other decision makers because proper investment in prevention results in things not happening. Our children NOT getting diabetes, our young people NOT becoming drug addicted, our vets NOT becoming homeless. Humans are hard wired to respond to emergencies, rather than to take steps to never experience those bad outcomes to begin with. It is estimated that public investment in public health is about 1% of the investment in medicine, and yet, at a community level, families understand the importance of addressing social determinants of health as a way to improve community health incomes. In this session we will explore the issue of public health advocacy, as it relates to working with elected officials and other decision makers appointed by those elected officials; and how the narrative of this advocacy shifts when changes are made to our electoral systems that ensure greater accountability from decision makers to the community.

Pandemic Inequities

Overview

The Covid-19 pandemic has paused the nation. Communities of color have been more vulnerable to Covid-19, due to longstanding inequities in the health care system and in society. Yet the American health care system is rigged for inequity, because it is a for-profit system that by definition, discriminates. At the same time, the health care system has proven itself ill-equipped to handle the Covid-19 health crisis, as it has run out of supplies, medications, and facilities. The Covid-19 reality is that one single person can seed an epidemic. Finally, will the health of all individuals be equally important?

Objectives

1. To review the Covid-19 pandemic and its disproportionate casualties and deaths in communities of color. Longtime inequities in the American health care system are exposed.

2. Health care systems in New Mexico and the US were founded by charitable organizations often named for saints. In the 1980’s, health care was transformed into the profit-driven industry it is today. This history, and the inherent inequities in a for-profit health care system are reviewed.

3. Foundations for inequities in New Mexico will be reviewed, drawing upon the scholarship of George Isidore Sanchez.
