Join us for “There’s something in the air: Wildfire smoke, health, equity, and solutions” with Dr. Joan A. Casey.

Dr. Joan A. Casey is an Associate Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences and Epidemiology at the University of Washington School of Public Health in Seattle.

Dr. Casey uses large secondary spatial data sources to investigate a range of emerging environmental exposures, including wildfires, power outages, fossil fuel infrastructure, and the energy transition. She prioritizes the study of joint social and environmental risk factors that help explain persistent health disparities and focuses on policy-relevant climate justice work.

Dr. Casey also holds a BS in Biological and Environmental Engineering from Cornell University, an MA in Applied Physiology from Teachers College at Columbia University and a PhD in Environmental Health Sciences from Johns Hopkins University.
