Geremy LowePostdoctoral Fellow

Geremy D. Lowe is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of African American Studies at Emory University. Dr. Lowe received his PhD in History of Health Sciences from the University of California, San Francisco. He also holds an AA in Journalism from Laney College, a BA in Ethnic Studies from UC Berkeley, an MPH in Population and Health Sciences from the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and a Master of Studies in Law from UC Law San Francisco.

Lowe’s work draws on a multidisciplinary approach to the health sciences, bringing together public health, law, history, and African American Studies. His research focuses on violence epidemiology and its impact on the health and well-being of urban communities. His work has been featured across academic and university media, including as a co-author of “A Living Archive of JEDI Curriculum Reform in Graduate STEMM Education” (August 2026) and in features highlighting his historical and public health research, including “Loved Ones’ Health Struggles Drive MPH Student to Improve Care for All” from the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

Lowe is particularly interested in interdisciplinary research and academic collaboration that examines how public health has historically measured and managed violence as both a social and medical issue and how these practices have produced categories of risk among youth. His current research examines the development of these risk categories through epidemiological methods and the ways they have shaped institutional understandings of youth population health. Drawing on the public health investigation of the Atlanta Child Murders, his work pays particular attention to race, age, and vulnerability. Grounded in this interdisciplinary approach, Dr. Lowe engages historical events to better understand contemporary discussions surrounding public health, governance, and social issues.
