‘Half a Loaf’: Race, Reform and the U.S. Immigration Regime, 1952–1965

Join us for a public lecture by historian Kelly Lytle Hernández, the 2025-26 Nannerl Keohane Distinguished Visiting Professor at Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill. In "'Half a Loaf': Race, Reform and the U.S. Immigration Regime, 1952-1965," Hernández will discuss how mid‑century immigration reforms - often framed as progressive victories - restructured but did not dismantle the racial logics at the core of the U.S. immigration system. This event is part of her year-long residency fostering scholarship and connection between the two universities.

The Scarlet Letter S: Reclaiming Humanity and Hope for Teen Suicide

Teen suicide is an urgent and growing public health concern, yet many adults struggle to understand it or know how to respond when a young person may be at risk. In this talk, Dr. Pamela Morris-Perez presents the latest scientific insights into adolescent suicide, including leading theories, risk factors, and promising prevention strategies for schools and communities. Drawing powerful analogies between suicide and other health conditions, she offers practical guidance for parents, educators, practitioners, and researchers seeking to better support the young people in their lives.

Mobile Health Assessment

Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.
