Community-Campus Partnership for Health Conference!

CCPH is having their annual conference in Portland in two weeks. I have found their conference is the best place to meet other people doing CBPR. Their conferences are action oriented. I am going with some questions of my own. 1)Thinking about how to integrate a rather academic approach to policy analysis to an Alinsky-style approach to policy change. 2)How to keep inequality generally, and race specifically, at the center of what we do - or at the very least on the table.

I will be running a pre-conference session on May 12th in the afternoon focusing on policy analysis. I will also facilitate a session on cost-benefit analysis on Friday morning. Otherwise fine me at the thrasher sessions on Thursday and Saturday, as well as the breakfast roundtable on Saturday.

Hope I get a chance to connect face-to-face with you at the conference. For details go to

See you in Portland!
