Dr. Hotez’s research focuses on chronic stress: persistent and cumulative stressful experiences over the life course, including lifelong stigma and marginalization across interpersonal, educational, and healthcare contexts. The COVID-19 pandemic magnified health disparities for individuals with disabilities due to chronic stress and much of her work over the past year responded to these disparities. She served as the Principal Investigator on two consecutive AUCD-CDC-funded grants to understand these disparities and identify strategies for supporting those with multiple marginalized intersectional identities. Dr. Hotez received her B.A. in psychology from George Washington University and her Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. As a sister of an autistic adult, she is committed to research that ameliorates disparities for individuals with disabilities.=0D=0A=0D=0APlease Note:There is no cost for this webinar.CEUs are not offered for this webinar.This webinar will be held on the Zoom Platform.
