In this episode, Dr. Mario Alberto Viveros Espinoza-Kulick and Dr. Alex Espinoza-Kulick explore how the news media impacts the content and context of health access and decision-making among Latinx immigrant and Indigenous communities.

S04E07 - REMIX - Exploring the Impact of a Culturally Grounded Running Program among Indigenous Participants with Dr. Anthony Fleg, Nicolette Abeyta, Ashleigh Claw, and Cynthia Begay

“I think it's important to know that you don't need, I guess, like big institutions or a lot of money or a ton of xperience even sometimes to accomplish really great things. As long as you're able to really form that partnership and really utilize those around you, a lot can happen.”

S04E06 - REMIX - Exploring Alaska Native Youth Supports for Suicide Prevention with Dr. Diane McEachern and Lauren White

First published in Season 03 Episode 36:


In this episode, Cynthia Begay is in conversation with Dr. Diane McEachern and Lauren White about their research in rural northwest Alaska Native villages on the quantities, types, sources, and frequency of support that Alaska Native youth and young adults had. They discuss the impact of colonization on education, and they reaffirm the existing support that occurs in Native communities. Furthermore, they offer ways that research can be more nuanced for Native communities to perhaps better measure support for males, use traditional milestone markers instead of age, pivot away from Western terms like informal and formal supports, and focus on involving the whole community.


This episode references the article titled “⁠What Kinds of Support are Alaska Native Youth and Young Adults Reporting? An Examination of Types, Quantities, Sources, and Frequencies of Support⁠” by Kelly L. Markowski, PhD, Lauren White, MPH, Sela R.

S04E01 REMIX - Exploring Anti-Racism with Camara Jones and Keon Gilbert

"If you ask me, the most important thing is: who is at the table and who's not, right? Because –who is at the table and who's not?– determines what's on the agenda and the values that are underlying whatever's going on. So the most important structural intervention that you could make is to involve people who have a strong interest in whatever the proceeding is or whatever the effort's going to be, to be at the decision making table."

In this episode, Arden Castle is in conversation with Dr. Camara Jones and Dr. Keon Gilbert about race, racism, and anti-racism. They dissect these definitions, identify patterns in the US and UK, encourage making institutional walls porous, and discuss inter-generational bridging. Dr. Jones also offers her 4 Habits of Mind (the 4 BC's) for social justice warriors: be courageous, be curious, be collective, and build community. For a deeper dive on this topic, watch Dr. Jones's TedTalk and check out HPP's What Is Anti-racism in Health Promotion Practice? special issue in Volume 24 Issue 1, January 2023.

S3 Ep. 45 Exploring Relationality in Food Sovereignty with Tara Maudrie and Dr. Cassandra Nguyen

"It's our duty as the original stewards of this land to cultivate balanced and healthy relationships with all aspects of our food systems so that we can all continue to thrive."
In this episode, Cassandra Nguyen is in conversation with Tara Maudrie about food sovereignty, which is more about the idea of relational stewardship through our foodways, rather than agency. She reminds us to think about whose knowledge and frameworks we are privileging in the way we evaluate and measure outcomes. She also hopes the framework will be used by communities as they work to revitalize, strengthen, and grow their foodways, as well as aid them as they push back and tell the story of their food system initiatives to incorporate an assets-based perspective.

S3 Ep. 38 Exploring News Media Effects on Health Disparities with Dr. Mario Alberto Viveros Espinoza-Kulick and Dr. Alex Espinoza-Kulick

S3 Ep. 38 Exploring News Media Effects on Health Disparities with Dr. Mario Alberto Viveros Espinoza-Kulick and Dr. Alex Espinoza-Kulick

"The way that people talk about immigrants in the news media affects those internalized stereotypes and, also, real fears that construct or limit somebody's mobility."

In this episode, Dr. Mario Alberto Viveros Espinoza-Kulick and Dr. Alex Espinoza-Kulick explore how the news media impacts the content and context of health access and decision-making among Latinx immigrant and Indigenous communities. They remind us that we need more immigration policies that center the health, well being, and dignity of migrant communities. Their research emphasizes the interconnectedness of immigration policy and public health, urging policymakers to evaluate immigration laws based on their impact on the health of communities, especially immigrant and Indigenous peoples.

This episode references the article titled "Immigration Policy is Health Policy: News Media Effects on Health Disparities for Latinx Immigrant and Indigenous Groups" by Mario Alberto V. Espinoza-Kulick, MA, PhD, Alex Espinoza-Kulick, MA, PhD, Elisa González and Jodene Takahashi.

S3 Ep. 36 Exploring Alaska Native Youth Supports for Suicide Prevention with Dr. Diane McEachern and Lauren White

S3 Ep. 36 Exploring Alaska Native Youth Supports for Suicide Prevention with Dr. Diane McEachern and Lauren White

In this episode, Cynthia Begay is in conversation with Dr. Diane McEachern and Lauren White about their research in rural northwest Alaska Native villages on the quantities, types, sources, and frequency of support that Alaska Native youth and young adults had. They discuss the impact of colonization on education, and they reaffirm the existing support that occurs in Native communities. Furthermore, they offer ways that research can be more nuanced for Native communities to perhaps better measure support for males, use traditional milestone markers instead of age, pivot away from Western terms like informal and formal supports, and focus on involving the whole community.


This episode references the article titled “What Kinds of Support are Alaska Native Youth and Young Adults Reporting? An Examination of Types, Quantities, Sources, and Frequencies of Support” by Kelly L. Markowski, PhD, Lauren White, MPH, Sela R. Harcey, MS, Tara Schmidt, MPH, Diane McEachern, PhD, LCSW, MSW, Patrick Habecker, PhD, and Lisa Wexler, PhD, MSW.


If you'd like to contact them about the paper or their research interests, Dr. Diane McEachern teaches rural human services and social work and their doctoral research studied the teaching of social work to Indigenous adults. She can be reached at dmmceachern@alaska.edu. Lauren White is a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan studying Social Work and Psychology. She can be reached at lawhi@umich.edu or on twitter @laurenalaine.
