Stigma and Health Among Refugees in Istanbul, Turkey
Monday, May 16, 2022 10am to 11am
About this Event
Join us for this seminar as Dr. Bulent Turan examines how stigma and discrimination—as well as other psycho-social factors—affect different populations, such as people living with HIV, substance use, and epilepsy, or living as a refugee. He also examines intersecting stigmas due to race, gender, sexual orientation, and poverty in order to understand and address disparities in physical and psychological health outcomes.
Dr. Turan was a recipient of the 2020 Sparkman Center Pilot Grant to research stigma amongst refugees in Istanbul, Turkey.
