It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Karen Kobayashi, professor in the Department of Sociology and Associate Dean (Research and Graduate Studies) of the
Faculty of Social Sciences.
Social dimensions of health PhD grad, Andrea Mellor, was drawn to an interdisciplinary program knowing there was a missing link between her work as a hydrogeologist and the
health-related issues occurring in Indigenous communities.
UVic researchers build more resilient communities in the wake of COVID-19.
Diabetes is a disease often associated with obesity but a new study led by sociologist Karen Kobayashi indicates that Japanese Americans who are not overweight are at a much higher
risk of developing the disease. The new research points to the vital need for health screening in this population.
