In our Health Equity and Social Justice signature research area, faculty conduct research to advance health equity and social justice across the lifespan by investigating the social, structural, and planetary determinants of health.
Each year, UW-Madison recognizes honorees whose advocacy, activism, and/or scholarship have positively transformed their organizations and/or communities and whose efforts advance inclusive excellence for people of color.
This honor highlights Dr. Oakley’s transformative contributions to nursing, education, and community-based research that addresses health disparities in marginalized communities.
