SUPPORT SPH ON BU GIVING DAY
A catalyst for bold public health practice, the Activist Lab at SPH equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to fight inequities and create conditions for a world in which all people can reach their full potential.
Knowing how to create a healthier world is not enough; that knowledge has to be turned into practice. The Activist Lab is a catalyst for BUSPH to engage in bold new programs, drive policy and system improvements, and inspire public health leadership around the world. The health disparities highlighted by COVID-19 and the continuing presence of institutionalized racism make our commitment to the improved well-being of all populations—especially those less seen and less heard—more critical than ever.
Knowledge is power, and in the field of public health, knowing how to create a healthier, more just world for all is often not enough. For sustainable, effective changes to be made, this knowledge must be turned into action. Enter the Activist Lab at the School of Public Health, a catalyst for bold public health practice created to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to fight inequities and create conditions for a world in which all people can reach their full potential. “At SPH, our practice, education, and research have advocacy and activism ingrained in them,” says Craig Andrade (SPH’06,’11), associate dean for practice and director of the Activist Lab. “The Activist Lab really works to complement and uplift this work and bring forward opportunities to engage in public health practice through an advocacy and social justice lens.”
