Creative Scholarship

Here's a trailer for Green Card Youth Voices: Immigration Stories from an Atlanta High School (2018; 2019). This will help "set the stage" for some of the creative scholarship that follows from peer-reviewed and academic-related projects that are then brought to practitioners and the general public for collective benefit and common good. Enjoy and be inspired!

Boston University Public Health Post
The Public Health Post (publichealthpost.org) from Boston University is a daily digital magazine that moves ideas and evidence about public health to the front of readers’ minds.

On the Post, or PHP, we invite important health thinkers—policymakers, journalists, academics, and practitioners—to share their work. PHP helps these experts influence policy on a local, national, and global scale while educating the public from the front lines.

Our editorsuse multiple formats—data visualization of health statistics, traditional long-form journalism, interviews and debates, research summaries, videos, curated content, and more—to tell powerful stories about population health.

Below are articles that were published in PHP resulting from my project teams.
