Journal Club - Nicholas Smith

Details about the discussion - 

Our speaker for this meeting is Dr. Nicholas Smith from the Department of Sociology. Dr. Smith will be discussing his work centered around "Perceived Discrimination and Mental Health among African American and Caribbean Black Adolescents: Ethnic Differences in Processes and Effects." 

Details about the speaker - 

Dr. Smith's research focuses on three distinct, but related, areas that lie at the intersection of medical sociology, social psychology, and race-ethnicity: (1) racial residential segregation and health, (2) stress-related mechanisms of health inequalities, and (3) social network activation during health-related crises. Dr. Smith draws on theories of race and racism, stress and coping frameworks, and the social network perspective to understand multilevel factors that influence health and health disparities. Methodologically, Dr. Smith employs multiple quantitative methods and draw on U.S. census and individual-level survey data.
