Meet Giselle Corbie-Smith
Monday, September 15 2008
by Frank Stasio and Olympia Stone
Giselle Corbie-Smith’s parents were an upper class family in Trinidad. When they moved to Brooklyn, they were no longer wealthy—but they never lost their sense of dignity or their respect for the importance of community. Giselle says those values put her through med school. Today she studies health disparities across the state of North Carolina as an associate professor of Social Medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill. She joins host Frank Stasio to discuss her upbringing and her research.
