Global Health Colloquium: The Toxic Campus Brew
Jennifer S. Hirsch presents "The Toxic Campus Brew: Whiteness, Masculinity, Drinking Laws, Stress and Shame."
Jennifer S. Hirsch, a medical anthropologist, is professor of sociomedical sciences at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. Her research spans five intertwined domains: how modifiable social institutions shape health outcomes; gender, sexuality and migration as drivers of sexual and reproductive health and HIV risk practices; sexual assault and undergraduate well-being, and the intersections between anthropology and public health.
She earned her A.B. from Princeton University in history, with a certificate in women’s studies, and her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in population dynamics and anthropology.
Organized by the Global Health Program and cosponsored by the Center for Health and Wellbeing, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, the Program in American Studies, the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies, and the Department of Anthropology.
