Hey SJM, Below is some preliminary info about a FGHHR event (Forum on Global Health and Human Rights) that one of our fellow postbacs, Danielle Beiling, has been coordinating along with a student from the Mailman School of Public Health. More details will follow if you are interested in attending!
Hammer Library at the Columbia Medical Center
The event will consist of a panel of experts who will speak about HIV risks in presently and formerly incarcerated populations. It is not surprising that those within correctional facilities are faced with unique risks in this aspect, but there are special considerations even post-release. The panelists will address these risks associated with these different phases of the individuals' institutionalized trajectory.
Panelists:
Dr. Robert E. Fullilove, EdD is the Associate Dean for Community and Minority Affairs and Professor of Clinical Sociomedical Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University. He currently co-directs the Community Research Group at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University.

Dr. Miguel Muñoz-Laboy, Dr.P.H. is an Associate Professor of Sociomedical Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University and the Director of the DrPH program for Sociomedical Sciences.

Pamela Valera, Ph.D., M.S.W., is a postdoctoral research fellow of the Division of Community Collaboration and Implementation Science, Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
