Angela Cooke-Jackson will present “Acknowledgement, Respect, and Preparation: Community Engagement and Participatory Design Research among Vulnerable Populations,” at the upcoming Health Equity Grand Rounds, hosted by the Minority Health Disparities Initiative.
The talk will be at 1 p.m. Oct. 16 via Zoom. The event is free and open to the public. Register here for the Zoom link.
This talk will examine how community engagement and participatory design research can support vulnerable communities in practice and policy, build their capacity, and collaborate with them to address health challenges. It will also underscore the importance of recognizing the structural factors impacting the health of vulnerable populations, identifying obstacles, and preparing ourselves to respect and understand the community's historical context.
Cooke-Jackson specializes in Health Communication and Behavioral Science, employing community-based participatory research and media literacy to assist communities in developing innovative and practical approaches for sustainable change. She serves as the co-director of the Intimate Communication Lab and envisions her research at the intersection of culture, health disparities, and marginalized populations.
