Since Mapping Inequality digitized New Deal-era redlining maps from the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, there has been an explosion of research examining historic redlining and present-day neighborhood environmental hazards and health. In this talk, Dr. Meier will discuss the application of HOLC maps in population health research and new efforts to characterize historic environmental hazards using the Sanborn Fire Insurance maps.PresenterHelen Meier, PhD, MPHHelen C.S. Meier is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. She examines the structural, social and environmental determinants of health and health inequities across the life course. Her overall goal is to understand how social vulnerabilities become biological vulnerabilities resulting in health disparities. Dr. Meier has a MPH in Hospital and Molecular Epidemiology and a PhD in Epidemiologic Science.About the OrganizersHealthy Regions &amp; Policies Lab integrates innovative GIScience, public health, and statistical approaches to explore, understand, and promote healthy places.
