Clinical Associate Professor, School of Public Health, Boston University

Boston University School of Public Health

I am a maternal and child health and social epidemiologist by training and have been at SPH since 2009. My research priorities involve advancing understanding around how racism as a system of power/oppression is enacted on populations and how it shapes patterns of population health (specifically in the perinatal period). I love big linked data sets and extra-love survey data, but I believe community-led storytelling is the most promising research frontier in public health. I have designed and teach several courses at SPH, including Social Justice and the Health of Populations: Racism and Other Systems of Oppression. I am a mother, a spouse, a New Yorker, a dog person, a music person, and an aspiring vegan. I am white, female, middle class, middle-aged, cis/het. Please call me Candice. She/her/hers.
