猫咪社区app

We are excited to welcome our new interns to the 猫咪社区app University Center on Health, Risk, and Society (CHRS) this fall. These talented individuals join a vibrant, multidisciplinary community dedicated to exploring the social and structural dimensions of health and risk. At CHRS, our interns will engage in cutting-edge research on pressing health-related issues, ranging from reproductive health to environmental justice. They will work alongside esteemed faculty and experts to examine how social, cultural, economic, political, and historical processes shape health inequities.

Our interns are eager to contribute to CHRS鈥檚 research areas, including Sex, Sexuality, and Reproduction; Migration, Displacement, and Disruption; Violence and the Carceral State; Wellbeing and Social Belonging; and Environment, Climate, and Place. By supporting interdisciplinary collaboration and fostering a commitment to health equity, they will play a crucial role in advancing the mission of CHRS. We look forward to their contributions and the fresh perspectives they will bring to our ongoing efforts.

Maggie Cox

Maggie Cox is entering her senior year studying public health and minoring in sociology. After moving to D.C., she began to reflect on the many barriers to healthcare within her rural hometown. Throughout her studies, Maggie became passionate about health programming, aging, and harm reduction in addition to rural health. Maggie鈥檚 work with Dr. Angotti will expand her knowledge on these topics, as it investigates the support systems for older adults in receiving healthcare in rural South Africa. Maggie is looking forward to learning more about the experiences of aging and intergenerational support, specifically in a rural context, during her internship at CHRS.
