In our season finale, we're diving deep into the myths surrounding neoliberalism with leading economists Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson - two of the brightest minds in the field. Brace yourself for a compelling discussion on how inequality takes a toll on physical health, relationships, and emotions. Chronic stress, accelerated ageing, increased rates of bullying and homicide, and even lower life expectancy all intertwine with the disparity. Pickett and Wilkinson will also look at circular and regenerative economic models, shifting away from relentless growth-focused mindsets. From promoting well-being and experimenting with basic income pilots to envisioning a four-day working week, we'll explore groundbreaking research that suggests sustainable economies can provide a decent standard of living for all. Kate Pickett is a Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York, while Richard Wilkinson is Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham Medical School, Honorary Professor at UCL, and a Visiting Professor at the University of York. Together they wrote The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better - a book that examines the effects of the inequality that resulted from free markets and limited government intervention in the economy.This episode of SystemShift comes from Greenpeace Nordic and is hosted by Greenpeace Sweden campaigner, Carl Schlyter, and produced by Alexia Fridén, with additional support from Ariadna Rodrigo, Juliana Costa, Christian Aslund and Attila Kulcsár.

95% of adolescents in the US have access to a smartphone and 45% report being online "almost constantly". Beyond the general time spent on screens, the control over usage and the interference into other activities are also important considerations and could reflect problematic screen use. This week on Pediapod, we meet Early Career Investigator, Professor Jason Nagata from the University of California, San Francisco to discuss his recent study of the sociodemographic correlates of problematic screen use.

Drawing on his nearly 50 years in medicine and research, world renowned physician and epidemiologist, Peter Schnall speaks broadly on the subject of workplace produced illness. Dr. Schnall recounts some of the early history of medicine's role in advancing progressive social changes during the years of the American civil rights and anti-war movements of the 60's and beyond. Still highly active in his field, Dr. Schnall offers a clear and insightful of how work itself can damage our individual and collective wellbeing and the sorts of things that can be done to change that.The Center for Social Epidemiology offers (at no charge) individuals and groups a tool to determine what sort of work place stressors they are subject to in their work environments.

Marianne and Eric chat with Professor Richard Wilkinson, Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham. Richard is author most recently of the book The Inner Level, and co-founder of The Equality Trust. In this episode, Richard shares his research on the detrimental and wide-ranging psychological effects of income inequality. He discusses how inequality impoverishes everyone's health, trust, and psychological well-being, even for those "winning" in the income distribution. Richard argues that while positive psychology needs to better understand societal predictors of when people flourish, the field already has discovered many insights that are plainly ignored by policy makers and other shapers of society. Finally, he shares how income inequality is visible and impactful on an everyday basis, and why a more equal society would also do a better job at fighting climate change.The Spirit Level: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/395860/the-spirit-level-new-edition-by-richard-wilkinsonkate-pickett/9780241954294 The Inner Level: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/567749/the-inner-level-by-richard-wilkinson-and-kate-pickett/More information: www.inequality.org

Episode Title: The need for theory in epidemiology with Dr. Nancy Krieger This episode features an interview with Dr. Nancy Krieger, Professor of Social Epidemiology at the T.H. Chan School of Public Health and author of Epidemiology and the People’s Health: Theory and Context. Dr. Krieger discusses the importance of using conceptual frameworks to improve people’s health and the role of population-level determinants of health (including social determinants) in population health research.  We discuss a range of topics, including the differences between biomedical and analytics driven approaches to population health research and theory driven research, as well as the importance of descriptive epidemiology.

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks Why is the incidence of mental illness in the UK twice that in Germany? Why are Americans three times more likely than the Dutch to develop gambling problems? Why is child well-being so much worse in New Zealand than Japan? The answer to all of these questions, hinges on inequality. This talk will explore how inequality affects us individually, how it alters how we think, feel and behave. You'll learn about the overwhelming evidence showing that material inequalities have powerful psychological effects: when the gap between rich and poor increases, so does the tendency to define and value ourselves and others in terms of superiority and inferiority. The speakers will then go on to demonstrate that societies based on fundamental equalities, sharing and reciprocity generate much higher levels of well-being, and lay out a path towards making them a reality. Kate Pickett is Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York and leads the Public Health and Society research group. She is the co-author of The Spirit Level and The Inner Level, with Richard Wilkinson, and her work addresses the social determinants of health and well-being. She was a National Institute for Health Research Career Scientist from 2007-2012, is a Fellow of the RSA and a Fellow of the UK Faculty of Public Health. Richard Wilkinson is a British social epidemiologist, author, advocate, and political activist. He is Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham, having retired in 2008. He is also Honorary Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London and Visiting Professor at University of York.

Richard Wilkinson studied economic history and the philosophy of science at the London School of Economics before training in epidemiology. He is now Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham Medical School, Honorary Professor at University College London and Visiting Professor at the University of York.  Since his initial research focussed on health inequalities, his books and research papers have drawn attention to the tendency for societies with bigger income differences between rich and poor to suffer a heavier burden of health and social problems. Two of his books have been the subject of documentary films – The Great Leveller  (for the Channel 4 TV’s Equinox series broadcast in 1996) was based on his Unhealthy Societies.  The Divide (based on The Spirit Level) was released in April 2016 (available on Netflix).  The Spirit Level, written with Kate Pickett is now in 24 languages.  It won the 2011 Political Studies Association Publication of the Year Award and the 2010 Bristol Festival of Ideas Prize.  His TED talk ‘How economic inequality harms societies’ has been watched over 3 million times.  Richard has received Solidar’s Silver Rose Award, the Irish Cancer Society’s Charles Cully Memorial medal, and was The Australian Society for Medical Research medallist in 2017. He and Kate Pickett published their latest book, called The Inner Level, in June 2018. Sign up for 10% off of Shrink Rap Radio CE credits at the Zur Institute

Is all epidemiology social epidemiology? If I am someone who studies cancer, or obesity, or infectious disease, or any other branch of epidemiology, should I be considering topics related to social epidemiology in my own work? In this episode of SERious Epidemiology, Dr. Whitney Robinson joins us to explain key concepts in social epidemiology.

Epidemiology is a buzzword these days in regards to a viral outbreak... but what about the epidemic of dismal health outcomes in many American communities? Why is the United States one of the richest nations, yet it ranks mediocre to poor in terms of life expectancy and health? I interview Elizabeth Yoder, a Social Epidemiologist from Kansas City, who also holds a master's degree in public health, about the social determinants of health and why we should care about the overall health of all our communities - not just the one we live in. I like this conversation, because it's not another chiding about racism and inequity - it's a hard look at how these things end up affecting everyone and a tangible call to action.

At SER 2019, the Cassel lecture was delivered by Miguel Hernán and Sandro Galea on the topic of  reconciling social epidemiology and causal inference. Their talk was turned into a paper in the American Journal of Epidemiology, and in March 2020, was published along with a series of responses by Drs. Enrique Schisterman, Whitney Robinson and Zinzi Bailey, Tyler VanderWeele, and John Jackson and Onyebuchi Arah.  In this SERious Epi bonus journal club episode, we had conversation with Dr. John Jackson and Dr. Onyebuchi Arah about their commentary and had the opportunity to ask their thoughts on the other topics published in that issue.

It's Australia's harshest COVID-19 lockdown yet. This morning, 3,000 people living in 1,345 units across nine public housing towers in inner Melbourne are starting their second day locked down inside. They can't leave for food, essential work, or even to stretch their legs. So why are these people being forced to follow tougher rules than everyone else? Today on The Signal, we ask why the nine towers have been targeted in particular, and look at how the pandemic is revealing some uncomfortable truths about housing and inequality in Australia.

Featured Interview: COVID-19 & Healthcare Inequalities -코로나19와 건강 불평등 Guest: Professor Richard Wilkinson, Social Epidemiology, University of Nottingham, Honorary visiting professor, University of York

The COVID-19 pandemic has infected millions of people around the country and the world, but the rates of death among low-income and minority communities is disproportionately high. Why? Dr. Nancy Krieger, Professor of Social Epidemiology at the Harvard T.

The COVID-19 pandemic has infected millions of people around the country and the world, but the rates of death among low-income and minority communities is disproportionately high. Why? Dr. Nancy Krieger, Professor of Social Epidemiology at the Harvard T.

In Episode 8 of Dr. Dave On Call, we discuss the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on ethnic minorities with Dr. Kiarri Kershaw, Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine whose speciality is Social Epidemiology. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a disturbing trend in the COVID-19 mortality rate; African-Americans and other ethnic minorities are dying at a disproportionate rate compared to other ethnic racial groups. This alarming statistic can be better explained using data from Cook County, Chicago, Illinois. African-Americans and other ethnic minorities have considerable challenges in achieving access to health care resources within their communities. Moreover, there is a lack of public funding for specific programs to address access to health care. This contributes to economic and social conditions that predispose African-Americans and other ethnic minority groups to chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and also infectious diseases like COVID-19. Through our analysis of extensive data, we know that COVID-19 affects patients with chronic conditions more seriously compared to those patients without pre-existing chronic conditions. African-Americans and other ethnic minority groups are more likely to hold service-sector occupations that are deemed essential-services. Therefore, these individuals cannot work from home and also must utilize public transportation to their jobs and are therefore at greater risk of contracting COVID-19. When African-Americans and ethnic minorities become sick with COVID-19, many of their occupations do not provide sick/hazard pay without a confirmed diagnosis, which may be difficult to obtain in some circumstances. This places additional financial burden on these individuals to continue to work through their COVID-19 illness. Further, many African-Americans and other ethnic minorities live in large households. Self-isolation after being diagnosed with COVID-19 becomes very difficult as well as the ability to quarantine. In order to address the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on ethnic minorities, we must continue to advocate for greater policies to address these health disparities. For example, the City of Chicago, under the guidance of Mayor Lori Lightfoot, has created multiple Response Teams deployed to specific neighborhoods where ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. The data-informed strategies are designed to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and improve health outcomes in these specific neighborhoods of high COVID-19 disease burden. If we can create targeted policies and strategies to address the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on ethnic minorities, we can help address these health disparities both in the near term and longer term, should another infectious epidemic/pandemic occur in the future.

In this episode, we're focused on advocacy - getting students motivated to speak up for themselves and change the world. We have so many brilliant voices who feel limited to the classroom, not realizing the power they hold. Particularly, we're going to look at how writing instruction lends itself to promoting student voices, featuring a variety of English educators, as well as authors, who recognize how important the Humanities are to promoting a flourishing democracy.Whenever I've attempted to rally my students up - to get them to stand up for what they believe in - I'm honestly not that successful. Certainly, there's some students who take command and advocate, but most shrug it off. That's not to say they don't care - students overwhelming care about the problems they see in our world...they just don't necessarily think they have the power to change it.There's so much untapped potential in today's youth - an entire generation of young adults who care about tolerance, acceptance, the Earth, and love. Yet schools rarely, if ever, want their students to engage in political discourse....to fight for what they believe in. It makes sense, given how political volatile the United States is, it isn't an advantageous position to have one's students on the news. However, these issues are core to what students find interesting and important, and seeing that relevance in their work...and most importantly, making the connection that their work is valuable, could literally change the world.Further, our classrooms are places of "rank and filing", which frankly is just a reflection of society itself. Our "merit-based" consumerist lifestyles don't lend themselves to positive, fulfilling lives, and schools are increasingly intertwined with the belief that success is framed by hoarding money and obtaining the perfect job. With so much focus on purely capitalist gains, it is no wonder that students feel they lack purpose. Plus, our unjust society contributes to most of our "on paper" problems in education - a lack of food, safety, or any safety net for our disadvantaged youth means we'll never find a human-centered education without reforming to make equitable communities. If educators aren't demanding political action to help impoverished families, then isn't all our work for nothing?The question then becomes twofold: 1) How can we encourage advocacy in schools among our student body, and is that advocacy appropriate? and 2) What is the educator's role in advocating for their students and communities?GUESTS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCEBryn Orum, director of Rise Up and Write, a summer writing program centered around advocacy in Madison, Wisconsin, who used to teach high school English and further, co-founded Clark Street Community School, who our previous guest, Bennett Jester, attends.J.J.

The social determinants of health (SDOH) are a hot topic in the healthcare industry. And rightly so: "Social, economic, and environmental issues have been shown to influence the length and quality of life by 50%, according to community health research. In comparison, only 20% is tied to the clinical care provided to community residents." Virginia Gurley, Sr. Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at AxisPoint Health But SDOH is not a new concept - it's just modern terminology for something called Social Epidemiology. What's new, is the ability to apply SDOH data to expand existing predictive models of risk stratification. By identifying the patients that are at the highest risk both clinically and socially, you can help care coordinators get much more tactical and concrete about supporting the individual. On this episode, Dr. Virginia Gurley, Sr. Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at AxisPoint Health joins us to explain how to put SDOH data to work.  Read the full post here: http://thehcbiz.com/ep82-sdoh-virginia-gurley/ ‎   The #HCBiz Show! is produced by Glide Health IT, LLC in partnership with Netspective Media.

He is one of the founders of the Equality Trust. Here he speaks to Rob Hopkins.

In Britain, the health gap is growing - in the wealthiest parts of the country, people are living on average more than a decade longer than in the poorest parts. An academic discipline which tries to work out why this health gap exists has also grown. It's called social epidemiology. You've probably never heard of it, but the science has influenced governments of both the left and right. So what answers has it thrown up? The most famous comes from the Whitehall II study of civil servants, led by Sir Michael Marmot, which found that people who are in high-pressure jobs, over which they have low control, are at greater risk of heart disease, because of the stress their lowly position causes. The idea that how much control you have over your work and life affects your health has generated talk in policy-making circles about the need to empower people. But the evidence is contested. When economists look at the same data, they see something different. David Aaronovitch hears the arguments.
