2:30 PM - 4:00 PM | Deep-dive to the fundamental causes and social determinants of health disparities: A call for interdisciplinary collaboration
CUNY Institute for Health Equity (CIHE)
Inaugural Speaker’s Series on:
Health Equity and Health Disparities
Nancy Breen, PhD, received her PhD in Economics from the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research in New York City in 1988. Her undergraduate degrees are in Political Science and French. Dr. Breen served as health economist at the National Institutes of Health: from 1991 to 2015 at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and from 2015 to 2019 at the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). She co-edited the NIMHD-sponsored AJPH Supplement (January 2019) “New Perspectives to Advance Minority Health and Health Disparities Research”. Dr. Breen’s more than 100 peer-reviewed articles reflect her desire to improve the evidence base for understanding the social determinants underlying health disparities. Her published work has increasingly focused on how structures and policies lead to health disparities. Her objective is to inspire broad-based interventions leading to social justice and economic sustainability.
We begin with two important examples of public health policy, then survey the concepts of Fundamental Causes and Social Determinants of Health (SDoH). After comparing how Fundamental Causes --structural racism and poverty—affect the health of racial/ethnic populations in the US, we will explore how some key SDoH --income, wealth, and housing stability—have evolved differentially for these same racial/ethnic populations over time. A deeper understanding of upstream determinants requires investigating economic inequality as a historical phenomenon. Today’s macroeconomy promotes financial inequality, consumer debt, and poor health in multiple ways. Finally, we return to public health policy by considering some interventions designed to address racial/ethnic and class inequalities in income, wealth and housing and end by probing how these policies might be refined using Community Based Participatory Research to become even more effective. | |

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM | Reading with Julie Maybee: Making and Unmaking Disability
In this brave new theoretical approach to human physicality, Julie E. Maybee traces societal constructions of disability and impairment through Western history along three dimensions of embodiment: the personal body, the interpersonal body, and the institutional body. Each dimension has played a part in defining people as disabled and impaired in terms of employment, healthcare, education, and social and political roles.
Because impairment and disability have been constructed along all three of these bodies, unmaking disability and making the future accessible will require restructuring Western institutions, including capitalism, changing how social roles are assigned, and transforming our deepest beliefs about impairment and disability to reconstruct people as capable. Ultimately, Maybee suggests, unmaking disability will require remaking our world.
Julie Maybee is Chair of the Philosophy Department, Professor of Philosophy, and the Director of the Interdisciplinary Disabilities Studies Program at Lehman College. | |

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
by Stephen Adly Guirgis

Online Performances for Two Nights Only!

April 24 at 7:00 p.m.
Followed by Post-show Discussions with the Director, Cast, and Production Team on Zoom.
Set in a time-bending, darkly comic world between heaven and hell,The Last Days of Judas Iscariot imagines if Judas were on trial for his betrayal of Christ and consequently Christianity itself. Featuring a cast of fictional and historically-based characters across several centuries including Mother Teresa, Sigmund Freud, Pontius Pilate, Satan, and Jesus, Guirgis’ play confronts contemporary issues of class, race, and gender, and how Western Eurocentric culture has appropriated and distorted the legacy and meaning of these iconic figures, their actions, and words.
Stephen Adly Guirgis’s plays include Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train (produced at Lehman College in 2017, and winner of best ensemble at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival), and Our Lady of 121st Street. His play Between Riverside and Crazy won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. He is a former co-artistic director of Labyrinth Theater Company. He is a creator and writer of Netflix’s The Get Down.

Victoria has worked with many WNY theatres including Road Less Traveled, Ujima, ArtPark, Musicalfare, O’Connell and Company, Kavinoky Theatre and Subversive. She has been nominated 3 times for the Buffalo Artie Awards and won for best actress in a musical for her work in FOUR GUYS NAMED JOSE AND UNA MUJER NAMED MARIA. She was also the program coordinator for MUSE (Musicians United for Superior Education) and for Antecesores, both arts organizations for which she was also a teaching artist specializing in theatre, music, and Puerto Rican folkloric dance and storytelling. She has been involved in the Buffalo’s young Latino community by doing theatre/music and dance residencies at the West Side Community Services, The Belle Center and with Friends of Hispanic Arts at Herman Badillo Bilingual Academy.

Wendell «ΜΧ» Cooper, Assistant Professor, Department of Music, Multimedia, Theatre and Dance
Ecstatic Disobedience: Gender Embodiment in Hip Hop, House, and Vogue
Mx. Oops aka Wendell Cooper will examine how Breakin’, House Dance, and Vogue Femme simultaneously critique gender expression norms and expand beyond them. Each dance form is based on a series of foundational movement elements, each borrowing from movement traditions with gendered histories — Salsa, Jazz, Capoeira, and more. By looking at how these Urban Dance forms remix fixed notions of masculinity and femininity, we will unpack their methodology of liberation.

2:00 PM | Discussion about the work of Danza Comun Dancers with Danza Común, Angelica Angulo and Leo Giron, will join DNC 235 class to speak about the making of the piece, "Campo Muerto" (2007) by Bellaluz Gutiérrez, Zoitsa Noriega and Sofía Mejía. In 2017, Bellaluz Gutiérrez re-made her part of the choreography and expanded it as a celebration of the 25 years anniversary of Danza Común. This version of "Campo Muerto" is 44-minute group dance that plays with the impact of peoples forcefully dislocated from their homes and villages, forced to flee to urban sprawl of the big cities of Colombia.
"Campo Muerto" is a poetic, piece. The choreography is a combination of pedestrian movement and tableaux and that go from quiet to chaotic, portraying the before and after moments of this kind of brutal force. The dancers arrange pedestrian movement through simple objects that take on associations related to war torn areas of the world. | |

Award-winning journalist, executive producer and documentarian Soledad O’Brien will host the Lehman College Foundation’s Leadership Gala, a virtual fundraiser to support vital student programs. The evening’s honorees, BronxCare Health System and former NV Energy CEO Michael Yackira ’72 will receive awards at the event, to be held Tuesday, June 8, from 7 to 8 p.m.
The evening will also serve as the launch for the College’s National Advisory Committee on Food Insecurity co-chaired by legendary Chefs Kwame Onwuachi and Alice Waters. The group will consult on ways in which the College’s 37-acre campus could be utilized to create edible gardens, how food preparation could be optimized to create more meals, as well how to impact on the legislative front regarding policies that would ease the financial burden on college students, many of whom have to choose between paying tuition and eating. All of the task force’s efforts will be assessed and documented to create a playbook of best practices.
