Redd, PhD, MSPH is a Georgia native, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Behavioral, Social, and Health Education Sciences (BSHES), and the Director of Research Translation with the Center for Reproductive Health Research in the Southeast (RISE) at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Trained in health policy, health services research, and social science, Dr. Redd is an interdisciplinary scholar of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in the United States. More specifically, Dr. Redd studies domestic sexual and reproductive health (SRH) policy, structural determinants of access to and use of comprehensive SRH care and downstream health outcomes, and multilevel SRH stigma and mis/disinformation. Informed by the Reproductive Justice framework, Dr. Redd examines and highlights how sociopolitical systems and structures enforce or ameliorate inequities in SRH access and outcomes, paying special attention to those living in the South. Additionally, Dr. Redd is privileged to collaborate closely with several local and national reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations to support and conduct community-led and community-driven SRH research.
