Madina Agénor is an Associate Professor in the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Brown University School of Public Health. Her interdisciplinary research uses critical, intersectional, and community-partnered approaches to elucidate how structural and social inequities, health care access and experiences, and laws and policies shape health inequities in relation to race, ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexuality. Her work situates health inequities in the historical and social contexts that produce(d) them and attends to how marginalized people have and continue to resist systems and institutions that create higher burdens of death, disease, and illness in their communities. Dr. Agénor has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in public health and women's, gender, and sexuality studies and has held faculty appointments at Harvard University, Tufts University, and Wellesley College. She received a Doctor of Science (ScD) in Social and Behavioral Sciences with a concentration in Women, Gender, and Health from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Sociomedical Sciences from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, and a bachelor’s degree (AB) in Community Health and Gender Studies from Brown University. She completed postdoctoral research training in cancer prevention equity at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and has been Visiting Faculty at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS at Yale University. Dr. Agénor is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Social Science & Medicine and Editorial Collective of Feminist Studies.

Dr. Agénor's interdisciplinary research uses critical, intersectional, and community-partnered approaches to elucidate how structural and social inequities, health care access and experiences, and laws and policies shape health inequities in relation to race, ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexuality. Her work situates health inequities in the historical and social contexts that produce(d) them and attends to how marginalized people have and continue to resist systems and institutions that create higher burdens of death, disease, and illness in their communities.
