Health Systems: What my Broken Ankle Taught Me with Dr. Sonia Rosen

In this episode, we walk about personal life experiences and how our health systems shapes those experiences. Our guest, Dr. Sonia Rosen, recently had a foot injury. She’ll speak to us about her experience and how it connects to her prior understanding of health systems and inequality. Dr. Sonia M. Rosen is the Director of Inquiry and Reflective Practice as Upenn since 2019. Dr. Rosen draws from extensive professional experience in urban education and the facilitation of youth agency, as well as deep connections to independent schools. She began her career as a secondary English and social studies teacher in New York City and Philadelphia, later teaching adult education at the Community Women’s Education Project. An active member of the Arab-American community, Dr. Rosen co-founded an afterschool program for Arab-American youth in which they explored issues of race, class, and immigration status in the context of their racially and ethnically diverse public school. She has collaborated with Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture, an Arab arts education organization, to author curriculum that grapples with anti-Arab racism and xenophobia and has served as a reviewer and adviser for other similar anti-racist curricular projects.
