ATLANTA 2024!!!! #IMGS2022 ✈️🎉

Had a great time at #IMGS2022 in Edinburgh this week. If you missed my presentation on Monday & you’re interested in ethnic inequalities, mental health, social cohesion & the social characteristics of place, drop me a message, I’d love to chat!

Looking at some newer metrics to understand why and how racial segregation impacts health: racial bias in mortgage lending, redlining, and ethnic bias in mortgage lending #IMGS2022

“You can’t paint all researchers with one brush, some come from community, you have some who build meaningful rapport with communities, and then there is a lot of parachute research that holds a bulk of the funding and does a lot of harm.” #imgs2022 - Dr. Masuda

And that’s a wrap!!!! #IMGS2022

Short keynotes with lots of panelists worked well in making conversations more diverse and inclusive, helping to move away from just seeing a few individual "leaders"

So that is it for #IMGS2022 for me - I simultaneously can't wait for the next one and also can't wait to relax this weekend by doing nothing related to health and place

Thank you so much #imgs2022 it’s been a pleasure being your Social Media Correspondent!! Thank you again @imgs2022, @steph_coen, @HealthGeography, @DSG_AAG, @GeogHealth for this amazing opportunity and for the delicious chocolates!!

So proud of my roomate and peer Alexandra Overvelde for shedding light on the disruption COVID-19 brought to food and hospitality workers! Such unsung heroes #IMGS2022

Let’s talk about research and “positionality,” a theme I’ve seen again and again this #IMGS2022. What connections do we have to the communities we research? We have to make sure these connections are meaningful and beneficial to the communities we serve ❤️.

“Let’s talk about how colonization continues and how colonization is ongoing in research.” #IMGS2022

I’m very excited to see more research in the equity/ diversity space move from the “what is wrong.” to… “how do we fix this problem,” now… who is going to fix so many of the problems we have brought to light at the #imgs2022 and who is going to fund this work? 💰 Let’s see!!
