Anna-Michelle McSorley, PhD

Assistant Professor

Anna-Michelle is completing her two-year postdoctoral position at New York University (NYU) School of Global Public Health, in the Department of Public Health Policy and Management and the Center for Anti-racism, Social Justice, and Public Health. She received her PhD (2022) and MPH (2018) in Community Health Sciences from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Fielding School of Public Health. As part of her graduate training, she also completed a minor in Race, Ethnicity and Politics within the Department of Political Science at UCLA and gained community-based policy-advocacy expertise as a funded Policy Fellow with the UCLA Public Health Training Program on Population Health Advocacy.  Her research focuses on health inequities among Latino/a/x groups and identifies opportunities for solidarity across populations that experience similar structures of exclusion and injustice that contribute to health and health care inequities. At UConn Waterbury, she seeks to build upon her Latino/a/x population health research agenda and work to meet the needs of the expanding Latina/o/x communities in Connecticut – now representing nearly 1/5 of the state’s population.
