2020 IAPHS CONFERENCE
“Policies, Places, and Profits: Manufacturers of Illness and Health”
September 30 – October 2, 2020 | Virtual Conference
About IAPHS
The theme of the 2020 IAPHS conference is “Policies, Places, and Profits: Manufacturers of Illness and Health.” The theme recognizes the influential work of John B. McKinlay, who coined the phrase “manufacturers of illness” to emphasize the key role of upstream factors, particularly political-economic systems, in shaping population health. IAPHS has made McKinlay’s path-breaking article available for members (click here).
The overall goal of this year’s IAPHS conference is to bring together scholars from multiple disciplines to share current research findings, frameworks, and methods; elevate awareness about how policies, places, and profits shape population health for better or for worse; facilitate new collaborations; and identify ways to improve health through outreach to policymakers, industry and the public. The conference will continue the IAPHS tradition of offering a scientifically engaging and interactive program, welcoming anyone interested in population health.

PROGRAM CHAIRS
Jennifer Karas Montez is a Professor of Sociology, the Gerald B. Cramer Faculty Scholar in Aging Studies, and Co-Director of the Policy, Place, and Population Health Lab at Syracuse University. The main focus of her research is explaining the troubling trends and growing inequalities in how healthy and long Americans live. Much of her work over the past decade has examined why those outcomes are particularly worrisome for women, for people without a college degree, and for people living in states in the South and Midwest. In her current work, she is investigating how the polarizing policy environment at the US state level has contributed to the trends and inequalities.
Jennifer Karas Montez
Professor of Sociology, the Lerner Chair for Public Health Promotion, and the Co-Director of the Policy, Place, and Population Health Lab at Syracuse University. Monnat’s research interests broadly fall at the intersection of place, public policy, and population health. A common theme binding much of her research is a concern for rural people and places. Much of her work over the past several years has focused on geographic differences in opioid and other drug-related mortality rates, particularly trying to understand the economic, social, and policy factors that are driving these spatial differences.

IAPHS is waiving conference fees for its members because we recognize that these are challenging financial times for many individuals. As a new organization, IAPHS is facing financial challenges too. Like other organizations, IAPHS relies on income from its conference to meet critical expenses. Unlike most other organizations, it doesn’t yet have a reserve of funds large enough to carry it through crises like this.
