Health & Environmental Justice in Latina/o/x Communities: Bridging the Gaps Among Diverse Methodological Perspectives

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024

The Edna Anderson-Taylor Communication Institute at the University of Utah invites you to join us for this year's annual symposium. There are growing bodies of excellent research on the importance of cultural representation, challenges of cultural adaptation, and complexities of migration in addressing problems related to health disparities and environmental injustice from scholars using diverse methodological and theoretical approaches. Unfortunately, these scholars are often not in conversation with one another. Our goal with this symposium is to help bridge the gap among different approaches and traditions of communication research by creating a setting where those trained in different approaches can think together about this year's symposium theme. Specifically, we hope to provide an opportunity for emerging scholars to present and get feedback on their work from established scholars who approach our theme from both critical/cultural and computational perspectives.
