The Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the School of Social Work are excited to host Vice Provost John M. Wallace for a guest lecture on Friday, October 6, 2023. Dr. Wallace is a renowned sociologist and professor at the University of Pittsburgh whose work over the past 30 years has focused on the well-being of African American children, youth, and communities. He has worked on vast community/university partnerships, community-based participatory research projects, ESTEAM education for young people, and the creation of social enterprises to address food access and insecurity, youth unemployment and economic development in low-income communities.
Dr. Wallace will be presenting his lecture “Using Research to Change the World (or At Least Improve a Neighborhood)” exploring his co-founding of the Homewood Children’s Village in Pittsburgh, which comprehensively serves to improve the lives of local children and reweave the fabric of the community in which they live.
