Associate Professor of Social Work at Columbia University, Courtney D. Cogburn examines racial inequalities in health. She directs a research group that characterizes and measures racism and evaluates its effects on mental and physical health.
Cogburn is the lead creator of 1000 Cut Journey, a virtual reality racism experience that was developed with Stanford University and which premiered in 2018 at the Tribeca Film Festival. The team is now exploring VR to affect empathy, racial bias, structural competence, and behavior. She earned a BA, MSW, and PhD, and is a board member of the International Center for Advocates Against Discrimination.
