By University at Buffalo Law School

Welcome to UBLaw Conversations, a production of University at Buffalo Law School and the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy. Today is February 26, 2009, and I'm James Milles, Professor of Law.

Sandy Lane is chair of the Syracuse University Department of Health and Wellness and a professor of social work. She holds a joint appointment with the SUNY Upstate Medical University, where she is a research professor with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. A medical anthropologist and epidemiologist, her research focuses on the impact of racial, ethnic, and gender disadvantage on maternal, child, and family health in urban areas of the United States and the Middle East. She received an R.N. diploma from the New England Baptist Hospital School of Nursing; a bachelor?s degree in North African Studies, a master?s degree in anthropology, and a master of public health in epidemiology, all from the University of California, Berkeley; and a Ph.D. in medical anthropology from the University of California, San Francisco and the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Lane is interviewed here by Bernadette Hoppe, an attorney and adjunct faculty member in the UB Department of Global Gender Studies.
