Naming and Addressing Racism: A Primer
July 21, 2015 | 1 p.m. CDT
Shiriki Kumanyika, PhD, MPH, and Camara P. Jones, MD, MPH, PhD
This kick-off webinar featuring APHA’s executive director, president and president-elect will take a look at some of the nation’s leading health inequities. APHA President Shiriki Kumanyika will discuss how racism is one of the most challenging tools of social stratification we face when trying to improve the health of the public. She also will reflect on the evidence and research needs related to how racism limits our ability to make America the healthiest nation. APHA President-Elect Camara Jones will tell the Gardener's Tale and present a framework for understanding racism on three levels. This framework is useful for understanding the basis for race-associated differences in health, designing effective interventions to eliminate those differences and engaging in a national conversation.

Equitable Community Development
Connecting Communities® webinar series, sponsored by the Federal Reserve System
(Upcoming) Equitable Transit-Oriented Development: Increasing Connectivity and Mobility for All August 20, 2015 | 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. CST
Equitable transit-oriented development, or ETOD, refers to the idea that investments in and along public transportation corridors should benefit everyone in the adjoining neighborhoods, regardless of their socioeconomic status. ETOD can have long-lasting and large-scale effects by improving access to quality housing, jobs, education, and other pillars of healthy communities—especially for low- and moderate-income households. But how can developers and local leaders ensure that transit-oriented projects will truly benefit all? The session will conclude with highlights of the national Rail~Volution conference in Dallas in October, where several Federal Reserve Banks are cosponsoring an ETOD symposium with Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF), Enterprise Community Partners, and Rail~Volution.
