Presented by: Greta Bauer, Ph.D., M.P.H. Professor and Director, ELI Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health University of Minnesota Medical School Sex(es) and gender(s) impact the public’s health in ways that are multidimensional, and involve entangled causal pathways related to biological, behavioral, and sociostructural factors. Policies regarding incorporation of sex and gender into research, including NIH’s Sex as a Biological Variable policy and academic journal publishing requirements have resulted in increased incorporation of sex and gender variables, though not always in particularly useful or nuanced ways. As epidemiologists, how can we address the multidimensionality of sex and gender in measurement and analysis? What does it mean to incorporate intersectionality frameworks, which call into question whether sex and gender research can even be done in meaningful ways in the absence of consideration of social power structures that create interlocking systems of oppression, wherein effects of sexism will be co-constituted with effects of racism and other forms of oppression? Who should attend? All are welcome. No registration required. |
