Interview: Trinidad Jackson on Racism and Public Health
This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, is thrilled to discuss racism as a public health crisis with Trinidad Jackson, PhD(c), MS, MPH. Trinidad is the new Assistant Dean for Culture & Liberation and a Faculty Instructor in Health Promotion & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Louisville's School of Public Health & Information Sciences. In addition to discussing environmental racism and the ways in which things like pollution, toxicity, and the urban heat island effect disproportionately impact people of color, we also dive into some potential solutions such as the Healthy Hoops program for asthma management and the on-going revision of Louisville’s Land Development Code.
