Rebecca Hester Headshot

I have written numerous articles and a book on public health promotion. My research has historically focused on race, immigration and health. I teach courses on "societal health" and "the life sciences and society." Much of my scholarship and teaching is public-facing and includes community presentations. I am currently working on a book on inflammation that includes human and environmental health.
