Her work examines the structural, social, and environmental determinants of health and health inequities across the life course. Dr. Meier will introduce a new dataset that can facilitate studies of mortgage lending discrimination. Jasmine Simington is a joint doctoral candidate in Sociology and Public Policy. Her research explores racial and spatial inequalities in housing. Jasmine will discuss a resurgence in calls for reparations to Black Americans.
