About Us

The Social Epidemiology Student Organization (SESO) aims to broaden the scope of epidemiology beyond a biomedical individualistic focus by facilitating students' understanding of social conditions as determinants of health at the population level. SESO is a multidisciplinary forum for the dissemination of theory, methods, and findings related to macro-level factors influencing health that brings students, faculty, and staff from across the school and related health institutions to discuss innovative social epidemiologic theory and methods. It is our objective to translate this knowledge into research that can serve as the evidence base for policies addressing social disparities in health.
