Abstract

Abstract:Some sociologists referred to W.E.B. Du Bois, a 19th century sociologist, as the founding father of American Sociology due to his trailblazing social science research, The Philadelphia Negro. However, The Philadelphia Negro globally revolutionized social science and epidemiological research that expands far beyond sociology and the United States. This study, which was groundbreaking for its era in its implication of social, spatial, intercultural, and intracultural health determinants, authenticated the existence of racial disparities and how systemic inequalities impact health. Du Bois was a social epidemiology frontrunner, yet compared to his contemporaries, acknowledgment of his global contributions to social epidemiology has been practically mute. It is time that Du Bois and Duboisian research are fully acknowledged in the social epidemiology field.

121年后，是时候承认杜波依斯是社会流行病学之父了

摘要:19世纪社会学家W.E.B.杜波依斯因其开创性的社会科学研究《费城黑人》而被誉为美国社会学之父。然而，《费城黑人》在全球范围内掀起了社会科学和流行病学研究的革命，其范围远远超出了社会学和美国。这项研究对社会、空间、文化间和文化内健康决定因素的影响在当时具有开创性，证实了种族差异的存在以及系统性不平等如何影响健康。杜波依斯是社会流行病学的领跑者，但与他同时代的人相比，他对社会流行病学的全球贡献实际上是沉默的。是时候在社会流行病学领域充分承认杜波依斯和杜波依斯的研究了。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people.
