WELCOME AND OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Sixth Annual Health Disparities Conference at Teachers College, Columbia University.
After a 2010-2012 hiatus, the conference enjoyed a revival in 2013. This year, 2014, the H I E

conference is bigger and better than ever—as we expand from an established national event to

a global happening. The conference features evidence-based and state-of-the-art prevention, H

intervention, and treatment models for reducing and eliminating health disparities, while fostering health
equity and educational equity. The goal is to move toward the establishment of menus of evidence-based
approaches for major health issues, while broadly defining evidence. The conference focuses upon the dual
goals of closing gaps in health and gaps in academic achievement—such that achieving health equity is
intertwined with achieving educational equity. The conference is part of a global twenty-first century civil rights
movement for equity in health for all as a social justice and human rights issue. Consistent with this
movement, the motto “From Health Inequity to Equity in Health” has guided the work of the Research
Group on Disparities in Health (RGDH), as embodied in the RGDH symbol at right. The RGDH was founded
in January 2003 and provided the impetus for initiating the First Annual Health Disparities Conference at
Teachers College, Columbia University in March 2006. The RGDH is now housed within the Center for
Health Equity and Urban Science Education (CHEUSE) which was officially launched one year ago at the
Fifth Annual Health Disparities Conference. Now, the
Annual Health Disparities Conference at Teachers
College, Columbia University is the annual showcase
event of CHEUSE. CHEUSE is proud to sponsor this
annual national event.
Barbara Wallace, is now Conference Co-Director
along with Conference Co-Director, Dr. Christopher
Emdin. Professors Emdin and Wallace are also CoDirectors of the Center for Health Equity and Urban
Science Education (CHEUSE). Both CHEUSE and the Annual Health Disparities Conference at Teachers
College, Columbia University now thrive because of the unwavering support of the Office of the Provost of
Teachers College, Columbia University—necessitating the deepest gratitude to Provost Thomas James.
As Co-Directors of CHEUSE, Dr. Wallace is Director of Health Equity within CHEUSE, and Dr. Emdin is
Director of Urban Science Education within CHEUSE. CHEUSE seeks to advance
evidence-based approaches to fostering health equity and academic achievement through
the use of innovative multimedia strategies to school health and urban science education—
including implications for policy. Thus, each page of the conference program features the
CHEUSE symbol, as shown at right.
Because of the national and global leadership Dr. Christopher Emdin has provided in advancing Hip-Hop
as a culture, and culturally appropriate pedagogical approaches to teaching (e.g. urban science education),
the conference body includes special invited guests from Dr. Emdin’s global education movement:
#HipHopEd. Thus, the conference includes a special focus on HIP-HOP + HEALTH EQUITY +
EDUCATIONAL EQUITY. Several panels feature a focus on Hip-Hop, and all events with this focus
are denoted with the symbol at right.

In this manner, the conference features an outstanding program—one accessible both in-person and via

such as Paris, France and Berlin, Germany! We are proud to offer to our in-person and on-line participants
around the globe a high quality program—thanks to those who have agreed to serve as Keynote and
Featured Speakers; and, due to the quality of the abstracts received from across the nation and around the
world that were reviewed and accepted for presentation as panels, papers or posters. These varied
contributions address contemporary health disparities, public health epidemics, issues of health equity,
educational equity, and HIP-HOP + HEALTH + EDUCATION, while many touch on the conference theme:

Focus on Lessons Learned from an Analysis
30 YEARS OF REPERCUSSIONS AND REVERBERATIONS

Friday Afternoon Keynote
Speaker—Michael Moss
In his #1 bestseller, Salt Sugar Fat, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Michael Moss traces the rise of the
trillion dollar processed food industry and its link to the
obesity epidemic. In powerful keynotes, he shows us
how corporations knowingly use salt, sugar, and fat—
and the latest in food science—to addict us and, more
importantly, how we can fight back. In Salt Sugar Fat—
which was featured on the cover of The New York Times
Magazine—Michael Moss examines the boardroom
strategies of America’s most recognizable food brands.
He explains how food science labs have calculated the
"bliss point" of sugary products to guarantee maximum
addictiveness. He deconstructs marketing campaigns
that redirect concerns about health risks. The result is an
urgent, stunning, and hopeful expose about health,
nutrition, politics, corporate interests, and, finally, the
power of individuals to gain control of their shopping and
dietary habits.
Before coming to The New York Times, Moss was a
reporter for The Wall Street Journal, New York Newsday,
and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He has been an
adjunct professor at the Columbia School of Journalism,
and is the recipient of a Loeb Award and an Overseas Press Club citation. In his forthcoming new book,
Hooked: Food and Free Will, Michael Moss will investigate food addiction.
The Founding Conference Director, Dr. Barbara Wallace, said the following in her published review of
Michael Moss’s current bestselling book, Salt Sugar Fat:
…Moss provides a history of the engineering of contemporary foods
including how researchers uncovered what became guarded corporate
knowledge, such as the bliss point, the point at which children, adults, or
members of certain races experience a state of bliss from specific
amounts of sugar, fat, and salt in various foods. The amounts, codified in
secret processed food formulas, could reliably produce distinct groups of
consumers conditioned to seek out that which they now craved—another
“hit” of that substance—much like addicts. The results included the
processed food generations becoming addicted to salt, sugar, fat, and
engineered foods... Moss’s book could end the public’s mass ignorance
about this important food history that has left the processed food
generations vulnerable to unprecedented high rates of obesity, diabetes,
hypertension, heart disease, and cancer. Moss provides the knowledge
that can end one’s participation as an unwitting subject in corporate
experiments involving decades-long exposure to processed foods… To
know is to be responsible for making new choices. Specifically, readers
will emerge knowing enough to begin making choices other than those
that drive corporate profits and contemporary health crises…(Wallace,
B.C., Book Review—Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about the
Processed Food Generations: A History of How Americans Became
Addicted to Salt, Sugar, Far, and Engineered Food, PsycCRITIQUES,
Feb 17, 2014, Vol 59, No 7, Article 5)
Michael Moss’ Friday Afternoon Keynote Address is on Salt, Sugar, Fat – Research, Practice, and
Policy Impacting the United States’ Food Supply and Implications for Population Health and
Health Disparities. Michael Moss will also be honored for his work and contributions with an award
ceremony after his keynote address.

Mindy Thompson Fullilove. M.D.
Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove is Professor of Clinical
Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University Mailman
School of Public Health, and Professor of Clinical
Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and
Surgeons. Dr. Fullilove is a board-certified psychiatrist who
is interested in the links between the environment and
mental health. Dr. Fullilove obtained her M.D. degree from
Columbia University. She started her research career in
1986 with a focus on the AIDS epidemic, and became
aware of the close link between AIDS and place of
residence--with a special interest in the relationship
between the collapse of communities and decline in
health. Under the rubric of the psychology of place, Dr.
Fullilove began to examine the mental health effects of
such environmental processes as violence, rebuilding,
segregation, urban renewal, and mismanaged toxins. She
is deeply immersed in urbanism and health and enjoys
global collaboration through the Cities Research Group
(CRG) she Co-Directs, including extensive work over the
years with the French Urbanist, Michel Cantal-Dupart. Dr.
Fullilove has explored vital questions such as “What
happens when our cities divide us by race and class?” and
Photograph by Ryan Lash
“Why haven’t urban planners addressed these divisions?”
Her research reveals the manner in which the dividing of America's cities by race and class led to real
fractures in the infrastructure, thereby contributing to health problems for all. Dr. Fullilove has taken on
the challenge of answering the key question that looms before humanity: “How do we re-knit a city across
physical barriers, as well as across the psychological and social barriers of race and class that have
emerged in our urban landscape?”
As testimony to her success in answering these and related questions, as well as her
accomplishments as a researcher, Dr. Fullilove has published numerous articles and six books including:
Urban Alchemy: Restoring Joy in America's Sorted-Out Cities; Root Shock: How Tearing Up City
Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It; and, House of Joshua: Meditations on
Family and Place. She is co-author of Ernest Thompson's Homeboy Came to Orange: A Story of
People's Power, and Rodrick Wallace's Collective Consciousness and Its Discontents.
Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove has not only maintained and shared a community consciousness, but
also served as a grass-roots pioneer in promoting urban revitalization, civic engagement, a sense of
communal responsibility, citizen participation, and activism through various community-based projects,
including in her hometown of Orange, New Jersey. Most recently, Dr. Fullilove has been involved in the
City Life Is Moving Bodies (CLIMB) project--intended to make Northern Manhattan neighborhoods
physically, socially and civically more active. CLIMB also studies the relationship of people to their local
environments, including the effects of violence on neighborhood life, the ways in which rebuilding
energizes a neighborhood, etc..
Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove has received many awards, including inclusion in many “Best
Doctors” and two honorary doctorates (Chatham College, 1999, and Bank Street College of
Education, 2002). Her work in AIDS is featured in Jacob Levenson’s The Secret Epidemic: The Story
of AIDS in Black America.
As our Saturday morning Keynote Speaker, Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove will speak on Research,
Practice and Policy Acknowledging Links Between Divided Neighborhoods, Public Health, and the
Built Environment: Implications for Urban Planning and Design. She will also receive an award to
acknowledge her work and contributions.

Distinguished
Research Group on
Disparities in Health
Alumni Award
Recipient—
Angela Campbell,
MS, Ed.D.
Dr. Angela Campbell is Founder and
Executive Director of Academic Pathways, a
501 (c) (3) in New Rochelle, New York.
Founded in 2001, Academic Pathways has
served over 850 students from grades K-12.
Dr. Campbell has pioneered an academic
supplementary educational program that
provides academic tutoring, mentoring, college preparation, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and Regents test
preparation. Her program also enhances the civic engagement of youth in organizations such as the
NAACP, while also fostering their pursuit of health. Dr. Campbell has described her Academic Pathways
as an academic coaching program that involves collaboration with academic, community-based, and
faith-based organizations in New Rochelle. Her work is guided by the organizational motto “It is easier
to educate and connect with a child than repair an adult. Turn your diamond in the rough
into an honor student.” In this manner, her work is within the tradition of ensuring youth access to
educational equity—which enhances achievement of health equity. More specifically, Dr. Campbell
specializes in nurturing the pipeline of diverse youth into STEM careers (science, technology, engineering
and mathematics). Nurturing youth from grades K-12, the Academic Pathways pipeline has resulted in
98% of program participants entering 4 year colleges and 92% graduating on time, while her students
have received over $4 million dollars in merit scholarships to pursue their undergraduate studies.
Consistent with this record of achievement, program participation has been associated with excellent
academic achievement in honor courses, advanced placement classes, and on Regents proficiency tests.
Dr. Campbell exposes her youth to the SAT and ACT tests in middle school, while using her own
Goldquest supplementary education teaching model. Although her program attracts diverse youth
and parents, she has maintained a commitment to low income, single parent, African American and
Latino youth—often prioritizing their involvement over payment of program fees. Thus, Academic
Pathways has served as an invaluable resource for both youth and parents. Dr. Campbell’s approach is
unusual for she also actively engages parents in academic coaching that seeks to enhance the
connection between parents and the public school system. For example, in recent years she expanded
her work by developing a STEM camp that had components for both youth and parents. For this new
effort, Dr. Campbell received the 2013 New Rochelle Community Campership STEM Camp Award, as
well as a 2012 New Rochelle School District STEM Camp Award. Other awards include the Women of
Excellence Award for Community Leadership in New Rochelle, and the New Rochelle Branch of the
NAACP Member of the Year Award—to name just a few.
Dr. Campbell was a member of the Research Group on Disparities in Health, graduating with her
doctorate in health education in 2006. Thus, she will be honored at the Closing Conference Dinner and
Awards Ceremony as a Distinguished Research Group on Disparities in Health Alumni, while she will also
present Saturday Afternoon on her pioneering K-12 pipeline: An Academic Coaching Program as
Collaboration between Academic and Community/Faith-Based Organizations—The Goldquest
Supplementary Teaching Model.

Award Winning Science Genius—and Rap
Genius—JABARI JOHNSON, Performs at
the Conference Closing Dinner
and Awards Ceremony
Jabari Johnson returns to the Closing Conference Dinner and
Awards Ceremony to perform, just as he did last year with Dr.
Christopher Emdin. However, Jabari returns as the Spring 2013
winner of the Science Genius Battles held across ten high schools
as an event hosted by the artist GZA and Dr. Emdin. Jabari
emerged as the best science genius rapper from among more than
300 students at the end of June, 2013. His winning rap was about
the physics formula—work equals force times distance, resulting in
the prize of a professional recording of his song, along with other
honors. The Science Battles (Bringing Attention to Transforming,
Teaching and Learning Science) concept is the brainchild of GZA
(an original member of the hip-hop band Wu Tang Clan) and Dr.
Christopher Emdin of Teachers College, Columbia University, while
including a collaboration with Rap Genius (www.rapgenius.com).
When Jabari performed at the Closing Conference Dinner and
Awards Ceremony last year, Dr. Emdin discovered that Jabari was
the son of Dr. L. Philip Johnson, a Distinguished Alumni of the
Research Group on Disparities in Health and graduate of Teachers
College, Columbia University—having been mentored by Professor
Barbara Wallace. Dr. Johnson privately shared how he coached
and advised his son, “If you are going to rap, you have to articulate
your words.” We are honored to have the award-winning genius,
Jabari Johnson, perform on the program Saturday evening at the
Closing Conference Dinner and Awards Ceremony. Meanwhile,
you can also see Dr. Emdin introducing Jabari and the award
winning Science Battles rap of Jabari by following the link, below:
