This podcast is produced from a recent Partners for Advancing Health Equity webinar, held
November 2023. Moderated by our podcast host, Caryn Bell, she and guests discuss how
recognition of structural racism, sexism, and other structural marginalization are the root
causes of health inequities. However, it is not enough. Efforts to make changes on the
structural level require shifts in power that center the views, experiences, and desires of the
communities that experience harm. Understanding and collaboration across multiple sectors
are needed to build community power to affect change.
This discussion showcased work that uplifts the idea that building power in communities is key to
changing structural drivers of health inequities and health equity.
Host and Moderator: Caryn Bell, Associate Director, Partners for Advancing Health Equity,
Assistant Professor, Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine
Panelists:
Jonathan Heller, Senior Health Equity Fellow, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Gigi Barsoum, Principal, Barsoum Policy Consulting
