New Podcast Interview Drop: Designing for Everyone in Public Health
ASPPH Episode #5 Podcast Art with Leah Roman.
Hi friends and followers! I’m excited to share a new podcast interview today.
ASPPH IDEA Exchange Podcast
Host Miranda Bosse, MPH, MSW, invited me to join the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) IDEA Exchange Podcast, which brings together conversations on innovation, discovery, and excellence in academic public health. Each episode highlights the ideas, research, collaborations, and people shaping the future across ASPPH member schools, programs, and the broader public health community.
My episode is number five for the newly launched podcast and is called, “Designing for Everyone: Accessibility and Equity in Public Health Education with Leah Roman.”
Key Discussion Topics
Some key topics in our chat:
1. Common misconceptions and challenges that I encounter in accessibility work with public health organizations and teams.
2. Practical, high-impact accessibility changes that faculty can make.
3. How academic public health programs can better prepare new professionals to integrate accessibility into their work.
If you work in an academic public health setting, I would appreciate you listening to and sharing this episode! A transcript is available.
I’d love to hear from you!

In your experiences in academic public health (as a student, instructor, and/or administrator), are disability and accessibility-related competencies integrated into the curriculum?
If yes, please share how!
