Â鶹Æƽâ°æ

This spring, we are excited to welcome our new student team members to the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Center on Health, Risk, and Society (CHRS). These talented individuals join a vibrant, multidisciplinary community committed to exploring the social and structural dimensions of health and risk. At CHRS, our spring interns will contribute to timely, impactful research on critical health-related issues—including reproductive health, environmental justice, and more. Working alongside esteemed faculty and experts, they will examine how social, cultural, economic, political, and historical forces shape patterns of health inequity and access.

Isa Kim

Isabel (Isa) Kim is a junior sociology major and studio art minor at Â鶹Æƽâ°æ. She has a special interest in intersectional health equity and research, which is motivated by her own experiences as a woman with invisible chronic illnesses. Isa has recently grown a social media presence of over 197k total subscribers through her work in ASMR, health awareness and marketing on Youtube and Instagram. Isa also served as a congressional intern for Senator Murray (D-WA) in 2018, which sparked an interest in socio-political concerns that has culminated into a present-day research project with CHRS Affiliate, Dr. Nicole Angotti.
