Paul Fleming is an assistant professor in Health Behavior and Health Education at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. He received his PhD in health behavior with a graduate minor in sociology from the University of North Carolina, and his MPH in behavioral sciences and health education from Emory University. He has previously worked as a community health Peace Corps volunteer in Nicaragua developing and implementing sexual and reproductive health programs for men, and also as a consultant on issues related to the social determinants of health for the World Bank and US Agency for International Development. Currently, his mixed-methods research focuses on the root causes of health inequities, with a particular focus on developing and evaluating interventions in poor and marginalized communities in Michigan and abroad. In the work he is initiating in Michigan, he uses a community-based participatory approach with Latino immigrants to examine how policies and discrimination contribute to poor physical and mental health outcomes. In his international work, he focuses on how gender norms and their intersection with class and race/ethnicity can result in men's harmful behaviors, including partner violence, sexual risk behaviors, and lack of support for family planning.
