Area of Interest
Libby McClure, PhD, is an occupational epidemiologist with several years of experience conducting community-engaged research projects as well as large-scale records-based disease and mortality studies.
McClure’s research background is rooted in environmental justice and addresses community concerns. She employs collaborative methodologies to engage with stakeholders and study how communities facing occupational and environmental hazards experience and challenge oppression in their daily lives. Broadly, her work is focused on the ways in which historical and structural inequalities produce health disparities using social and environmental justice-focused, community-driven research that both critically complicates traditional study of health and illness and also supports social change.
