⭐️ Presented by the Campus Community Book Project

A talk by Elenitsa Sebat, assistant clinical professor, Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. More information forthcoming!

In 2024-2025, the UC Davis Campus Community Book Project will be reading Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society by Arline Geronimus and will feature a year-long program on the theme of health equity and justice. Arline Geronimus is a Professor in the School of Public Health and Research Professor in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, where she also is affiliated with the Center for Research on Ethnicity, Culture and Health. She is an elected member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science. Fusing science and social justice, Dr. Geronimus’ scholarship explores the ways in which systemic injustice erodes the health of marginalized people. Until now, there has been little discussion about the insidious effects of social injustice on the body. Weathering shifts the paradigm, shining a light on the topic and offering a roadmap for hope.
