Research Areas
We conduct research to advance environmental justice by addressing environmental health inequities resulting from environmental racism and harmful environmental exposures. Our work focuses on educating the public, empowering communities, and developing sustainable interventions to reduce disparities in health impacts disproportionately affecting minoritized communities. Through community-driven research and advocacy, we aim to challenge systemic injustices, inform policy change, and create healthier, more equitable environments for all.
Advancing Environmental Health Equity
by studying the effects of pollution, climate change, and other environmental exposures on vulnerable communities.
Promoting Environmental Justice
by working with affected communities to advocate for policy changes and equitable access to healthy environments.
Exploring Brain Health Disparities
by investigating how environmental and social factors influence cognitive function, mental health, and neurological diseases.
Improving Sleep Health Equity
by examining the role of environmental and occupational factors in sleep disparities and developing interventions to enhance sleep quality.
Engaging in Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)
to ensure that our research is inclusive, action-oriented, and directly benefits the communities most impacted by environmental health challenges.
