University of California, Los Angelesمعرفی
Dr. Cindy C. Sangalang is Assistant Professor of Social Welfare and Asian American Studies at UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs. Her research examines how migration, race, and culture intersect to shape health outcomes for immigrant and refugee communities.
Using community-based participatory methods, Sangalang investigates how historical oppression and trauma affect health across generations. Current NIH-funded research focuses on COVID-19 impacts on Filipino American essential workers, revealing how racial capitalism shapes health disparities.
Her comparative studies of refugee mental health have advanced understanding of post-migration stress and trauma pathways. Sangalang's work informs interventions to promote health equity for marginalized communities.
