The Health Equity Institute is co-led by a dedicated group of Health Equity Faculty who share their time with home departments across our campus departments. We are four core faculty - from sociology, public health, economics, and kinesiology, who co-lead the health equity institute's programs, education, and research.
We are joined each year by a Faculty scholar who is supported with time, space, and community as they develop their research as SF State health equity scholars. These scholars become affiliate faculty given their immense contribution to health equity scholarship and community-building.
We are also joined by an advisory board comprising SF State faculty from across campus, student health equity scholars, and many campus colleagues who join and support our efforts.
