ADASHIMA OYO

Adashima Oyo is a PhD Candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center. She earned a MPH degree before pursing her doctoral studies. Adashima has two research interests, and both intersect with the minority-majority demographic shift that is occurring in America. First, the problem of health disparities and its disproportionate burden on Black and Latino communities. Second, the lack of racial diversity among college and university faculty and its implications on Black and Latino students, particularly those pursuing health related careers. Adashima is part of the adjunct faculty at NYU and Brooklyn College where she teaches courses on health sciences and research methods. #BlackScholarsMatter
