About the Speaker

Dr. Gilbert is an associate professor in Department of Behavioral Science & Health Education in the College for Public Health and Social Justice at Saint Louis University. Dr. Gilbert’s work draws on inter-disciplinary training in Biology, African American Studies, Public Affairs and Public Health to investigate the intersection of racial identity, racial socialization, and structural racism as an important, yet unexplored, social determinant of African American male’s health across the lifecourse. Part of understanding this intersection is to understand cultural and structural changes within African American communities over time and to better understand the opportunities and limitations of male’s participation in formal organizations, social networks and systems of social support where they live, work and play.
