Place and the Social-Spatial Determinants of Health

Marynia A. Kolak, Ph.D., M.F.A., M.S. is a health geographer and spatial epidemiologist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she leads the Healthy Regions & Policies Lab. Her research explores how "place" impacts health outcomes, integrating a socio-ecological view of health, spatial data science, and community-centered design to investigate regional and neighborhood health equity. Kolak received the Emerging Scholar Award in Health Geography in 2022. Imelda K. Moise, PhD, MPH is a health geographer and Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Miami, Florida. She directs the Geography of Inequalities Lab (GaIL) and the Global Health Studies program at the same institution. Dr. Moise is renowned for her research on at-risk families and communities, utilizing mixed methods, particularly geospatial analysis, to investigate health inequities. She also serves on the Editorial Board of the Annals of the American Association of Geographers, where she contributes to the Geographic Methods section.
