Bio
Mienah Z. Sharif takes a social justice, global and intersectional approach towards examining the nature and determinants of health inequities among racial and ethnic minority groups across the lifecourse. She is especially interested in addressing questions about the influence of structural factors, differential exposure to adverse social conditions and psychosocial factors on indicators of health and wellbeing across various life stages. She is currently extending her work on racism and discrimination to examine religious identity as a form of structural inequality via the racialization of religion. As a mixed-methods researcher, she prioritizes community-engaged research that aims to guide health and social policies addressing inequities.
