Professor Angela Cooke-Jackson.
Professor Angela Cooke-Jackson is an acclaimed scholar of health communication, exploring the intersections of race, gender and reproductive health justice. She is a Professor within the Communication Studies Department at California State University, Los Angeles.
Professor Cooke-Jackson’s cross-disciplinary scholarship and applied approach incorporates digital platforms, media literacy and civic engagement to unpack health issues among at-risk urban youth and women of colour. She has worked extensively to construct theory and build research that addresses sexual health, sexuality and sexual health literacy.
Director of the Center for Culture-Centered Approach for Research and Evaluation (CARE) Professor Mohan Dutta says Professor Cooke-Jackson is a long-time interlocutor on the intersections of culture and health communication.
“I am looking forward to this opportunity for us to explore together the various threads of communication and anti-racist organising that weave across global spaces in challenging the entrenched health disparities we witness globally today. That health communication work is fundamentally anti-racist work is a concept I am looking forward to further exploring with Professor Cooke-Jackson.”
During her time at CARE, Professor Cooke-Jackson will be collaborating with Professor Dutta on a framework for anti-racist solidarities as the basis for securing health justice.
She will be conducting a series of workshops, delivering public lectures and collaborating with Professor Dutta on writing white papers, policy briefs and journal articles on the futures of anti-racist solidarities as the basis for addressing health disparities.
Professor Cooke-Jackson will be hosted on Massey’s Manawatū campus in early 2025.
