Carrboro, North Carolina, United States
Hanna Dingel is a doctoral student in the Department of Health Behavior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she also earned her M.P.H. in Health Equity, Social Justice, and Human Rights. Her research focuses on the experiences of people who identify as women. Using photovoice, a community-based participatory research approach, she has led two studies: one exploring how people who identify as Black women navigate the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racial injustice, and another examining barriers to reentry post-incarceration. She also supports a study examining structural racism's influence on Black youth well-being. She is particularly interested in how structural determinants of health, such as gentrification, displacement, and mass incarceration, shape community health outcomes. Prior to her doctoral studies, she spent five years at the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) developing policy analyses, data visualizations, and health communication strategies.
