Power to the People: Evaluation Considerations for Public Health Liberation
Presented by Dr. Monique Liston
Founder, Chief Strategist & Joyful Militant
UBUNTU Research and Evaluation
Understanding and aligning with Public Health Liberation (PHL), an emerging framework aimed at advancing health equity by addressing systemic inequities within the public health economy, is essential for culturally responsive and equitable evaluation. At the core of PHL is the public health economy, a complex interplay of economic, political, and social forces that shape the health and well-being of communities that highlights the ongoing competition for resources and power, where morality and self-interest often collide, perpetuating health inequities. Evaluators have a critical role in assessing and transforming public health within this dynamic context. The lecture will introduce the key principles of Public Health Liberation and explore how evaluators can engage with the public health economy to promote data liberation and mitigate data violence against Black communities. Participants will gain essential knowledge to navigate the intersections of evaluation, equity, and the structural drivers of health, leaving with actionable strategies to foster liberation in public health. All (data) power to the people!
Join us to hear the latest in the research and practice of public health to support a just, equitable, healthy future for people, communities, and the environment in Milwaukee, the state of Wisconsin, and beyond.
The seminar can also be attended virtually on Teams.
