However\, less research has been done among those who live in rural communities and there are questions on how the associations between social capital and health may vary based on demographic and community characteristics. Utilizing data from a 5-year health equity initiative\, Lauren will present findings from a study on the associations between social capital and several measures of health and well-being among residents of rural Southwest Georgia. She will discuss the variation in associations by race and degree of rurality as well as the implications that these findings may have for social capital researchers and rural public health practitioners. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nLauren Bigger is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Behavioral\, Social and Health Education Sciences in the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Her primary research interests are in community-based approaches to understanding and addressing health inequities\, including assessing how outer contextual factors\, such as social capital\, influence health outcomes and the implementation of health-related policy\, systems and environmental changes. She currently employs mixed methods approaches to evaluate the impact of a community-based rural health equity initiative and the scalability and translation of a program to promote healthy eating among low-income families. Lauren holds a Master’s in Public Health from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication of Science and Technology from Vanderbilt University. She lives in Atlanta\, Georgia with her equally nerdy husband\, 3 inquisitive young children and their very patient dog. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

The review highlights the complexity of this relationship\, revealing it to be both underexplored and difficult to define. Given the increasing recognition of social capital as a vital component in fostering connected and resilient communities\, understanding its role in urban design is crucial for advancing the industry’s approach to building more sustainable\, socially cohesive environments. I will also present early findings from my ongoing research on the perceived value of social capital within urban design\, and its potential implications for the future of the industry. While still in progress\, this research offers exciting possibilities for shaping the direction of urban design in the coming years. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nI am currently pursuing a Master of Philosophy and deeply engaged in research focused on the value of social capital within the practice of urban design. This interest stems from my industry experience\, as an urban designer\, where I have witnessed firsthand the critical role that community engagement plays in creating sustainable and resilient urban environments. My research aspires to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application\, ultimately contributing to the advancement of urban design practices that prioritize community well-being and sustainability. My professional background (10+ years) encompasses a range of roles in both the private and public sectors\, where I have been involved in urban design and place making for future growth areas. My work has included working with a team on community development initiatives\, urban revitalization projects\, and the creation of place-led economic frameworks aimed at fostering vibrant\, sustainable communities. This practical experience has not only honed my skills in urban design but also fuelled my passion for understanding how research can drive industry progress towards more sustainable solutions. By integrating insights from my research into practical urban design strategies\, I aim to contribute to the development of more inclusive\, socially cohesive\, and sustainable urban environments. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.
