SPH Reads: Ripples of Hope in the Mississippi Delta

“SPH Reads” is a community wide reading program hosted annually by the BUSPH Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice. It aims to encourage critical thought and discussion centered on a carefully chosen thought-provoking book. The Fall 2025 selection is Ripples of Hope in the Mississippi Delta: Charting the Health Equity Policy Agenda, by BUSPH Professor David K. Jones (1981–2021), who spent four years visiting the Mississippi Delta conducting primary research with residents and local leaders and exploring the influence of both policy and community-led initiatives on their health.

This event will feature Yvette Cozier, BUSPH Associate Dean for DEIJ,  in conversation with the co-editors of the book, Dr. Debra Bingham, Dr. Sarah Gordon, and Professor Nicole Huberfeld.
