Janni SorensonAssistant Professor
Department of Geography and Earth Sciences

I am collaborating with Dr. Mark Dehaven (College of Health and Human Services, CHHS) on efforts that link neighborhood planning, community development and health (see http://arches.uncc.edu/ucity-family-zone ), a proposal is in preparation to seek external funding from Center City Partners.[read more=’Read more’ less=’Read less’] I am also working closely with Dr. Beth Racine, CHHS on securing funding for a research project on childhood obesity specifically focusing on community interventions (focused on Downtown Concord, NC) and the built environment leading to knowledge that will inform medical practitioners as they advise families on issues around obesity in children. A new NIH proposal is in discussion.
