Learn more about what we do by watching online videos. Specifically, we recommend that you view videos from the 2013, 2014 or 2015 Annual Health Disparities Conference at Teachers College, Columbia University—and join the thousands of viewers who have enjoyed this resource over the past decade (i.e. first conference in 2006). This annual national conference was discontinued by the Provost in September 2015, but the YouTube videos continue to provide a dynamic showcase for our Programs, and the videos afford a unique opportunity to hear some of our faculty present on their research and scholarship. For example, in March 2013 at the 5th annual conference, Dr. Barbara Wallace, as the Founding Conference Director, delivered the Conference Opening Address on the conference theme: Culturally Appropriate Research, Practice, and Policy Approaches to Health Disparities within a Stress and Coping Bio-Psycho-Social-Environmental-Cultural Framework. Also, in March 2013 at the 5th annual conference, another one of our Program in Health Education faculty members, Dr. Charles Basch, a national expert on the link between learning and health, and the March Hoe Professor of Health and Education, delivered a major Keynote Address on Reducing Educationally Relevant Health Disparities: Strategies to Close the Educational Achievement Gap for Urban Youth and a National Research and Policy Agenda. In addition, one of the consistently top-rated Professors across Teachers College, our Adjunct Professor, Dr. Robert Fullilove—and Associate Dean for Community and Minority Affairs, Professor of Clinical Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health—has delivered a major at each and every annual conference.
