Alicia Riley is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Core Faculty in Global and Community Health at University of California, Santa Cruz. She currently serves on the PAA DEI Committee and has helped organize annual meeting sessions in years past. Alicia directs her research toward questions that are likely to generate evidence that: 1) reveals the dynamic nature of racialized health inequities; 2) highlights the intersectional nature of health inequities by disaggregating beyond race and ethnicity; and 3) challenges deficit narratives that maintain unfair health dis/advantages. Much of her recent research focuses on inequities in mortality and bereavement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
