How does racism become embedded in the body? During her May visit, UT Austin sociologist and IPR Visiting Scholar Bridget Goosby shared research exploring how discrimination and chronic stress shape health trajectories. Using wearable sensors and detailed participant diaries, she and her collaborators track physiological responses to everyday experiences, offering new insight into the links between social inequality and health.
As Goosby explained, “It’s not just that we have complex systems that we exist in, but that those complex systems that we exist in are interacting with the complexities of our bodies.”
