Tiffany Joseph, an associate professor of sociology and international affairs at Northeastern University, will speak at the UW-Madison on Monday, April 21 in Ingraham Hall about her research on the disparities in access to health insurance faced by immigrant communities across the United States.
In her recent book “Not All In: Race, Immigration, and Health Care Exclusion in the Age of Obamacare,” Prof. Joseph shows how patients’ race, ethnicity, and legal status determine their access to health coverage and care, according to a press release from the Chican@ & Latin@ Studies Program, and despite progressive policy strides in health care reform, immigrant communities continue to experience stark disparities across the United States.
The April 21 presentation is sponsored by the Chican@ & Latin@ Studies Program, along with the Center for the Demography of Health and Aging and the Departments of African American Studies and Sociology.
In addition to her 5:30 p.m. lecture, Prof. Joseph will hold an informal conversation on research graduate students at 2:30 p.m., in Ingraham 336. For more information, contact the Chican@ & Latin@ Studies Program at [email protected] or (608) 263-4486.
