About this event
Arline Geronimus: Weathering, Then and Now Dr. Arline T. Geronimus coined the term “weathering” to describe the effects of systemic oppression—including racism and classism—on the body. In her book Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society, based on more than 30 years of research, she argues that health and aging have more to do with how society treats us than with how well we take care of ourselves. She explains what happens to human bodies as they attempt to withstand and overcome the challenges and insults that society leverages against them, and details how this process ravages their health. Geronimus is a Professor in the School of Public Health and Research Professor in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, where she also is affiliated with the Center for Research on Ethnicity, Culture, and Health. She is an elected member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science. Cosponsored by the Lowell Humanities Speaker Series the Boston College Connell School of Nursing, and the School of Social Work. This event is free and open to the public. Please register to attend.
