Mindy Thompson Fullilove (born October 15, 1950) is an American social psychiatrist who focuses on the ways social and environmental factors affect the mental health of communities.[1] She is currently a professor of Urban Policy and Health at The New School.[2]

Trained at Bryn Mawr College and Columbia University, Fullilove has conducted research on AIDS and other epidemics of poor communities and studied the links between the environment and mental health.[3] Her research examines the mental health effects of environmental processes such as violence, segregation, and urban renewal.[4]

Early life

Fullilove grew up in Orange, N.J. Her father, Ernie Thompson, was a labor organizer in Jersey City and was the first black field organizer hired by the United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers Union. Her mother, Maggie, was a white woman from Chippewa Lake, Ohio, who worked as a union hall secretary. Fullilove's parents launched a successful campaign in Orange to desegregate local schools. She attended Unitarian Universalist Church as a child.[5]

Education

Fullilove graduated cum laude from Bryn Mawr College in 1971 with a BA in History. She received an MS in Nutrition from Columbia University in 1974 and an MD in Medicine from Columbia University in 1978. Fullilove received a Board Certification in Psychiatry in 1984.[6] Additionally, she holds a certificate in Landscape Design from the New York Botanical Garden.[7]

Career

Fullilove has been elected to the New York Psychiatric Society, the

Milano School of Management, Policy, and Environment at the New School.[11] There, she has been working on a project entitled 400 Years of Inequality, which examines events that have shaped inequality in the United States, going as far back as 1619.[12]

Other work

The CLIMB Project

In 2004, Fullilove helped start the CLIMB (City Life is Moving Bodies) Project,[13] a community-based initiative in Upper Manhattan that promotes physical, social, and civic activity among northern Manhattan residents[14] and is committed to ensuring parks are safe and accessible to all.[15] The project has sparked millions of investments, including one of $30 million in 2016 dedicated to updating Highbridge Park.[2]

University of Orange

In 2007, Fullilove and other community activists founded the University of Orange, a free popular education center located in her hometown, to promote civic engagement and active citizen participation in the community.[16] She currently serves as the university's President of the Board of Directors.[17]

Interdisciplinary Research Leaders

Fullilove is a member of one of the fifteen teams assembled by Interdisciplinary Research Leaders, a program led by the University of Minnesota to build healthier and more equitable communities.[18] Her project, Making the Just City: An Examination of Organizing for Equity and Health in Shaw and Orange, is focused on helping people stay in neighborhoods that are facing the economic and social pressures of gentrification.[19]
