Julia Raifman, ScD; Jacob Bor, ScD; Atheendar Venkataramani, MD, PhD The prevalence of nutrition-sensitive conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes has increased substantially in the US during the past 30 years. These conditions, combined with other diet-related ones such as cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers, are associated with the majority of morbidity, mortality, and health care spending nationally. Simultaneously, income inequality has increased, with accompanying self-reported food insecurity disproportionately affecting individuals with lower incomes.

Growing up with feminist parents active in social justice, Dyan Mazurana, a research professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy and The Fletcher School, has pondered the intersections of gender, race, age, ability, disability, and sexuality for most of her life. Since her early days as an undergraduate through to her time now as a Tufts professor, she has focused on understanding, preventing and responding to violence against women and children. The coronavirus has pushed gender perspectives to the forefront even more. “The pandemic is the perfect lens through which to view factors of sex, gender, and race, among others, because those factors are literally determining who lives and who dies,” said Mazurana, who also directs the research program on women, children, and armed conflict at the Feinstein International Center.
