Subject: Health Disparities & Social Justice Conference: A Focus on Women's Health -- Proposals Due Dec 6
Dear colleagues,
HEALTH DISPARITIES & SOCIAL JUSTICE CONFERENCE 2011
A FOCUS ON WOMEN?S HEALTH
Friday January 28th, 2011 @ DePaul University's DePaul Center
Chicago, IL
**CALL FOR PROPOSALS DUE DEC 6, 2010**
Overview
The Health Disparities and Social Justice Conference hosted by DePaul
University's Master of Public Health (MPH) Program will provide an
opportunity to increase skills in identifying and addressing a wide variety
of health disparities in diverse communities. It will also provide a
valuable context for dialogue among a range of health and community experts
who share DePaul?s mission to address social injustices and community health
practices in marginalized groups. A special focus on women's health will
be central to this year?s conference. This conference is provided
free-of-charge to those interested in public health.
The conference will take place at DePaul University's DePaul Center, 1 E.
Jackson Blvd, Chicago, Illinois, on Friday, January 28th, 2011 from
8:30am-4:00pm. Presentations will take the form of skills-building
workshops. Sessions will be focused on some aspect of the intersection of
health disparities and women?s health among diverse populations, such as:
immigrants, communities of color, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities,
low-income families, seniors/elders, and/or youth. In addition to the
workshops and keynote speaker, a community lunch-hour session will include
opportunities for networking and discussion.
Health disparities will be framed as social justice issues. The learning
exchanges that take place at the conference will provide attendees with an
improved ability to enrich the lives of those at highest risk for poor
health outcomes, including members of various groups who experience social
oppression and marginalization.
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - DEADLINE MONDAY DECEMBER 6th at 5:00pm CST

disparities and MUST take the format of a skills-building workshop: The

health in their proposal. Women's health can be defined in various ways
