This document summarizes an ethnographic study conducted at a racially diverse Chicago public high school to understand tensions between Latino and Black students. The study found that a fight between a Mexican and Black student that was racialized actually stemmed from non-racial reasons related to gang affiliation and masculinity. By examining the process by which the fight became racialized, the study challenges the concept that violence between racial groups is solely racially motivated. It concludes that race is often used as a scapegoat to explain tensions that have deeper roots in issues like poverty, lack of respect in schools, and the need for school reform.

Presentation j byelick
The attached presentation is Jenny Byelick’s UIC School of Public Health Capstone project for her Master of Public Health degree, relating the introductory public health course at Pedro Albizu Campos High School as part of a comprehensive public health curriculum. Public health curricula at the high school level may be a vehicle for addressing health disparities and improving health outcomes among adolescents, particularly in socially marginalized communities. Public health curricula may address health disparities and contribute to the composition of the future health professions workforce; this is especially relevant when high school education programs are linked to career pipelines. This presentation addresses how a school course encompassed aspects of population wellness utilizing social constructionist methods of education. The course was developed adhering to a theoretical framework influenced by principles of positive youth development, critical race theory and school connectedness. This presentation also discusses lessons learned and future directions of the public health curriculum in Humboldt Park. Next steps include improving and evaluating the public health curriculum and career-linked pipeline and connecting this program with other area schools.

This Spring the students of CHSC 431: Community Assessment, a graduate-level core UIC School of Public Health class engaged in a collaborative learning experience with students and faculty at Pedro Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School to conduct a community health assessment of Humboldt Park. The UIC SPH class of nearly 40 students broke into six groups of students to assess separate health areas identified by PACHS as important - gentrification/sense of belonging; issues of LGBTQ youth, physical activity, nutrition, young women's sexual/reproductive health, and health literacy/diabetes. Each group engaged in a mixed method
assessment modeling the assessment component of the Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process typically carried out by local health departments. Each group had at least two members engaged in an ongoing community learning experience so as to better discern community perspectives with respect to their health topic. The learning experience ranged from to engaging/facilitating small group learning to facilitating a schoolwide survey to volunteer coaching of a youth sports club. Existing quantitative data on population demographics, health status and health behavior were analyzed in light of qualitative data from key informant interviews, participant observation or focus groups (debriefing groups) gathered from community engaged learning experience characterizing/contextualizing the health topic. Preliminary findings were discussed at Humboldt Park Library 4/21 and 4/28.

Marisol Morales Presentation
The campaign to free the prisoners in the 1970s-1980s helped unify Puerto Ricans by creating a dialogue around a shared Puerto Rican human rights agenda. This laid the foundation for the later Vieques movement to successfully pressure the U.S. Navy to leave the island. The prisoners' campaign activated and broadened Puerto Rican support by appealing first to a sense of Puerto Rican identity and rights. This allowed the Vieques movement to gain momentum and achieve its goal of removing the Navy more rapidly.
