Dear Dr. Caruso Brown,



I'm writing to share an upcoming opportunity that I thought you might be interested in sharing.



The Institute for Universal Rights, Health & Justice<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.phoenixzonesinitiative.org/institute-for-universal-rights-health-justice/__;!!GobTDDpD7A!IEjnzXbhuS3dVz_VElMi5ukTF1_pjOclEPE6QrgAM4fdf5Lat7DGjuYwsCRfHmoo2bjyGCdNv3_1R9Vayv9K-KeDhh8$> is pleased to announce that, from June 1st to July 10th of 2026, we will host our inaugural Leadership Program. The virtual 6-week program will explore how the moral and legal recognition of rights influences individual and public health outcomes in our more-than-human world, and how a consistent commitment to justice offers opportunities to address complex, interlinked challenges such as violence and conflict, chronic and infectious disease risks, and environmental threats.



Because the program is targeted at graduate students, postgraduates, and early to mid-career professionals (including MD/DO, DVM, JD, and PhD candidates or professionals), I thought you might know students or professionals who would benefit from participating in the program.



Would you mind sharing this email with your networks as well as any other scholars, advocates, and practitioners who might be interested?

Thank you,
