Exercise Science major reflection of the day: today, in my Anatomical Kinesiology class, we learned about vertebral column injuries, resulting from tension and compression at the intervertebral discs and I couldnt help but to think of a population that is extremely vulnerable to these types of injuries: farm workers. From the Braceros Program to this very day, agriculture has been a salient part of my communitys identity and my public health background has taught me that this physically and mentally demanding work is done primarily by Latin@s (including family members). Social determinants of health, such as poverty and citizenship status subject mi gente to these harsh work conditions. They dont call it back-breaking labor for nothin!
