Science Pub: Homelessness and Health

Homelessness and Health: Understanding the Human Cost with Josh Snodgrass, PhD, Professor and Department Head of Anthropology UO & Jo Weaver, PhD, Professor of Global Studies, UO
What happens to the human body and mind when stable housing is out of reach? Join anthropologists Dr. Josh Snodgrass and Dr. Jo Weaver for an eye-opening look at the health effects of homelessness, from chronic stress and disease to mental health challenges and barriers to care. They will share early findings from their ongoing research study in Eugene, which draws on biology, anthropology, and public health to understand how the stresses of housing insecurity become embodied as health problems. Drs. Snodgrass and Weaver will reveal how homelessness shapes health in Oregon—and what communities can do to make a difference.
Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.
