Presentation: Social and economic determinants and environmental health
Our health is shaped by the world around us, by our income, identities, education, and occupations, but also by the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat. These social circumstances also interact to shape one another. This presentation will discuss the intersecting and ineluctable role of a range of social, economic, and environmental factors in shaping the health of populations.
Learning Objectives
To discuss the range of exogenous factors that shape health
To discuss how different exogenous factors interact to shape each other as well as population health
To consider potential intervention levers that can improve social and environmental determinants, and therefore health

In his newest book, Sandro Galea emphasizes that the field of public health is committed as much to preventing disease as to treating it. Public health includes the social factors that frame our lives. This includes social inclusion, economic security, political stability, adequate diet, access to education, and other factors that frame an individual’s life. Dr. Galea discusses the necessity of rational policies that create social stability and comfort. Developing the foundation for genuine public health requires more effective communication –and elimination of misinformation and vitriol-- in a process he calls radical incrementalism.
This lecture series will be taking place at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. It aims to expand the community’s learning and networks, to hear from distinguished Deans from other Schools of Public Health, and to further broaden the definition of public health.

The past few years have seen the proposal and enactment of a range of laws that challenge the human rights of the LGBTQ+ community, and particularly transgender people. This calls on public health to affirm a central truth, that there can be no health without respect for the dignity and basic rights of all populations. This conversation will address the current attacks on transgender populations, the active threats to those working to support these populations, and how we as a public health community can continue to promote the health and rights of transgender people.

Public health aims to create conditions so that all populations flourish and live fully realized lives. How do we ensure that we keep the concerns of persons with disabilities—visible and invisible—front and center in the public health conversation? What should be our priorities for public health to center the concerns of disabled populations in our work?
