![]() ![]() From there I just ended up in in domestic and international emergency management as a vulnerable population specialist. And then I was in practice on the ground, really looking at providing services and helping people to access services. I continue to stay focused on social policy issues, environmental racism, so intellectually, I always focused on the systems aspect of human rights and social services. I went overseas to South America and then when I came back, I went to Columbia for my undergrad and then I did my first masters at the School of International Public Affairs. A lot of the times, I found myself doing disaster work. I suppose my career sort of flowed from there. And so, I think I just sort of caught that bug early on. And it's about our ability to be able to help each other, care for each other. It's about our ability to live and thrive. And that's why I'm saying human rights is more than a concept. We were letting people die over stigmas and not seeing them as actual people. All of our patients died, and it was really a very challenging time and that for me was my first introduction into crisis work and then also in into human rights advocacy. I started out in the early 90s, doing HIV counseling on the lower east side of Manhattan and that was really ground zero of the AIDS epidemic back then. I had a real interest in systems and policies and how programs work, but always thought, ‘Well, if we if we have the evidence that shows how we can help people in the social services and in the human services field, why don't we implement them?’ So really doing critical analysis and figuring out how to implement better, evidence-based programs was kind of a real intellectual and practical curiosity for me. Before I became a full- time professor, I really loved being in the field, working directly with people. Even here at SUNY Empire, working with the students for me is the most important thing. By nature, I'm just somebody who likes to be out in the field doing direct service. Jenny Mincin: I think that I always was interested in vulnerable populations in particular, and I always wanted to think about how we look at things from a systems perspective and also service delivery. How did you get involved in working with in studying human rights issues? Fighting for our freedoms and for access and for basic human rights, in my opinion, there's no greater purpose than that. So, human rights are one of the most fundamental aspects of our being, in a way. So, for example, if we can't access certain things, and that includes everything from education to health care to clean water to food and safety, it becomes really hard to be able to function in your community. But the reality is our basic human rights are something that are critical for each of us in terms of being able to live and thrive the way that we want to. Jenny Mincin: I think that when people hear the term human rights or think about human rights, they're looking at it from maybe a legal perspective or a really narrow focus. The interview below has been edited for clarity and brevity.

The Science of Fat Loss: What are “Macros” and Tracking Macros vs.DecemFaculty Spotlight: Jennifer Mincin and Human Rights Monthīy Carl Burkart, Director of Student Success and Development The Science of Fat Loss: How to Diet for Maximum SuccessĢ. I have a few posts that go more into depth about macros if you want to dive deeper.ġ. There are, however, foods that “fit” easier than others, foods and healthier meals that are more nutrient dense and will fuel your workouts and your life! With a little planning and experimenting you can make just about any food fit your macros. It isn’t, “this is macro-friendly and this isn’t or “this is a healthy food and this isn’t.” This is not a black and white comparison by any means. While one thing I do want to point out is that macros are super relative. Everyone’s macro breakdown will be a little different depending on individual needs. More specifically, a higher emphasis on higher protein moderate fats, and low to moderate carbs. “Macro-friendly” typically refers to high-volume foods with a more balanced distribution of macronutrients compared to many traditional options. ![]()
