November 19, 2009

Matinees that Matter
Unnatural Causes
Sponsors: OSUMC Community Development and Leadership Academy

Matinees that Matter offers a purposeful lunch-and-learn program with video and discussion. Unnatural Causes is a four-hour documentary series divided into program segments that will be used to kick off the Matinees that Matter series. These segments, set in different ethnic/racial communities, provide a deeper exploration of the ways in which social conditions affect population health and how some communities are extending their lives by improving them. Bring your lunch and join the conversation!

November 19, 2009 (160 Meiling Hall, noon-1 p.m.) Becoming American
Moderator/Facilitator: Rebecca Nelson, Assistant Vice President for Student Life and Chair, Columbus Community Relations Commission
Recent immigrant’s health challenges. Recent Mexican immigrants tend to be healthier than the average American. However, those health advantages erode over time. What aspects of American life would cause health to worsen? What can we all learn about improved well-being from new immigrant communities?

January 7, 2010 (160 Meiling Hall, noon-1 p.m.) – Collateral Damage
Moderator/Facilitator: Georgina Dodge, PhD, Assistant Vice Provost Office of Minority Affairs
Marshall Islanders are caught between the developing and industrialized worlds. In the Marshall Islands, local populations have been displaced from their traditional way of life by both the American military presence and globalization. Now, they must contend with the worst of the “developing” and industrialized worlds: infectious diseases due to crowded living conditions and extreme poverty, such as tuberculosis, and chronic disease stemming, in part, from the stress of dislocation and loss.

January 21, 2010 (160 Meiling Hall, noon-1 p.m.) – Bad Sugar
Moderator/Facilitator: Tom Blincoe, Executive Director, Outreach
Diabetes in two Native American communities. O’odham Indians, living on reservations in southern Arizona, have perhaps the highest rates of Type 2 diabetes in the world. Some researchers see this as the literal embodiment of decades of poverty, oppression and loss. A new approach suggests that communities may regain control over their health if they can regain control over their futures.

February 4, 2010 (160 Meiling Hall, noon-1 p.m.) - Not Just a Paycheck
Moderators/Facilitators: Andrew Thomas, MD, Associate Medical Director and Dean of Graduate Medical Education
Diane Gordon, Administration Director, UH East
Unemployment takes a toll in Michigan, but not in Sweden. Residents of western Michigan struggle against depression, domestic violence, and higher rates of heart disease and diabetes after the largest refrigerator factory in the country shuts down. Ironically, the plant is owned by a company in Sweden, where mass layoffs – far from devastating lives – are relatively benign because of government policies that protect and retrain workers.

February 18, 2010 (160 Meiling Hall, noon-1 p.m.) - Place Matters
Moderator/Facilitator: Diane Gordon, Administration Director, UH East
Where you live is a good predictor of your health outcomes. Increasingly, recent Southeast Asian immigrants, along with Latinos, are moving into long-neglected African-American urban neighborhoods, and their health is being eroded as a result. What policies and investment decisions create living environments that harm, or enhance, the health of the residents?

March 3, 2010 (160 Meiling Hall, noon-1:30 p.m.) - One in Sickness and in Wealth
Moderator/Facilitator: Andrew Thomas, MD, Associate Medical Director and Dean of Graduate Medical Education
The connections between social policies and public priorities that affect health outcomes. What connections exist between healthy bodies, healthy bank accounts, and skin color? This video follows four individuals with different lifestyles to see how their position in society was shaped by the social policies and public priorities that affect their health.
