James Huynh, Ph.D., M.A., M.P.H.

Dr. Huynh is a transdisciplinary public health researcher whose work engages the fields of health equity/health justice, Asian American and Vietnamese American studies, social movement studies, and queer and feminist studies. He brings queer and feminist theoretical lenses into public health research to investigate how LGBTQ communities of color sustain their everyday lives and well-being amid social and political death-making conditions (i.e., racial capitalism, patriarchy, and heterosexism). Dr. Huynh actively collaborates with queer and trans of color and anti-racist community-based organizations to explore how their activism and social movements can influence health policy.
