David Cohen

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

David Cohen studies psychoactive drugs across shifting boundaries of medical, recreational, and illicit uses, showing how socio-cultural factors, not just drug properties, shape legal status and therapeutic promises. He also evaluates claims about biological determinist views and biological treatments of distress and misbehavior. He explores how schools of thought in mental health impact notions of ethical care, informed consent, and harm reduction. His research on public data about involuntary psychiatric detentions reveals governments’ weak accountability for coercive care. Cohen has authored or co-authored over 120 articles and chapters. His last co-authored book was Mad Science: Psychiatric Coercion, Diagnosis, and Drugs (2015). He has received awards for writing, research, teaching, mentoring, and advocacy.

As a mental health practitioner, Cohen focused on helping people withdraw from psychiatric drugs and advocated for person-centered, individualized reduction. He developed guidelines for therapists and people navigating these substances’ shift from medical tools to cultural/consumer products. He also created CriticalThinkRx, a curriculum shown to reduce psychotropic prescriptions for foster children. Cohen has advised governments, research agencies, courts, media, and community groups on reducing harms of psychotropic drug use.

Cohen taught at University of Montreal (1988-2000) where he directed the Health and Prevention Research Group (1993-1994) focused on the nascent social determinants of health paradigm, and at Florida International University (2000-20013) where he directed the PhD program and served as Interim Director of the School of Social Work. In 2012, he held the Fulbright-Tocqueville Distinguished Chair at University of Poitiers, France. At UCLA Luskin, Cohen held the Marjorie Crump Chair in Social Welfare (2013-2018), served as Associate Dean of Research and Faculty Development (2018-2023) and is currently Associate Dean.

Greg Morrow

/in , , , , , /by

Greg Morrow is the founding executive director of the UCLA MRED program. Previously, he was an associate professor of practice in architecture, founding executive director, and faculty director of UC Berkeley’s Abbey Master of Real Estate Development + Design (MRED+D) program. He was also founding academic director for the MSRE program at Pepperdine University’s Graziadio Business School and the Parker Professor in Metropolitan Growth + Change, a joint appointment at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business and School of Architecture, Planning + Landscape.

Morrow’s research focuses on housing and land use policy. He is known for his scholarship studying the impact of land use on housing supply in Los Angeles. In “The Homeowner Revolution: Democracy, Land Use and the Los Angeles Slow-Growth Movement, 1965-1992,” he explained the origins and impact of Los Angeles’s slow-growth movement that resulted in “planning by resistance,” where well-organized homeowner groups helped direct the future growth of L.A. to predominately low-income, minority communities, which exacerbated spatial disparities between communities. Morrow has also studied the unintended consequences of local policies and ballot initiatives, such as LA’s Measure JJJ, which resulted in an increase in transit-oriented development at the expense of housing supply outside of these areas. His applied research has also focused on municipal policies related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) / secondary suites, affordable housing policies, and funding mechanisms for value capture and local area improvements.

Morrow has extensive teaching experience in urban + environmental policy, urban design + planning, and real estate development. As a Visiting Assistant Professor in Occidental College’s Urban + Environmental Policy (UEP) program he taught courses in environment + society, sustainable development, community-based research methods, and eco-cities, utopias, and political change. As a teaching fellow in UCLA’s Institute of the Environment + Sustainability, he was involved with the two-quarter undergraduate Global Environment cluster course and led a seminar in sustainable community development. He has taught courses in urban design skills, urban design + development, and planning history/theory and led numerous urban design and development studios at MIT, the University of Calgary, and UC Berkeley. Topics included master plans for the Portlands in Toronto, Downcity in Providence, and Griffintown in Montréal to a new suburb built around health outcomes in Southeast Calgary, revitalizing an industrial corridor in an immigrant community in Northeast Calgary, urban infill projects in Oakland’s Uptown and Coliseum Station, and the transformation of an industrial township into a mixed-use community in Mumbai. He has also led the real estate development independent capstone prep and directed capstone courses at UC Berkeley.

Morrow brings an interdisciplinary approach to real estate development. His professional practice includes institutional architecture, including work at Safdie Architects on the Peabody Essex Museum, Salt Lake City Public Library, and the winning entry for the US Institute of Peace competition. His residential practice work with KCBA Architects includes the restoration of a mid-century villa in rural Québec and new homes in Ohio and Martha’s Vineyard. He has also maintained a development + design and real estate consulting practice in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, focused on small-scale urban infill, small lot housing, and ADUs. He has also been involved with numerous international projects, including a master plan for a portion of postwar Sarajevo, a study to reuse industrial colonia heritage in the Cardener River Valley north of Barcelona, highway adjacent development in the Netherlands, and innovation cluster at the University of Cambridge (UK).

Morrow has also served on the Calgary Planning Commission, ULI LA’s Leadership Council, and LA County’s Homeless Initiative. He has a PhD in urban planning from UCLA Luskin, two masters (city planning and architecture) and an urban design certificate from MIT, and undergraduate and professional architecture degrees from McGill University.

Bianca D.M. Wilson

/in , /by

Bianca D.M. Wilson, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Social Welfare at the Luskin School of Public Affairs and an affiliate faculty member of the California Center for Population Research at UCLA. Her research explores the relationships between culture, oppression, and health. Dr. Wilson examines LGBTQ economic instabilities and involvement with systems of care and criminalization, with a focus on the ways racialization, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression play a role in creating disproportionality and disparities.

Notably, she was the lead investigator on the first study to establish population estimates of how many LGBTQ youth are in foster care and has led similar work in juvenile criminalization. Similarly, she has led the largest qualitative study of the life and needs of LGBTQ people experiencing economic insecurity. Acknowledging the impact of this work, she was awarded the Distinguished Contribution to Public Policy Award by the American Psychological Association Division 44 (Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity). Underlying her substantive works on LGBTQ, health, system involvement and economic security is her attention to sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression (SOGIE) data collection and data policy. She has conducted SOGIE measurement research among youth and adults and continues to work with local, state and federal government efforts on increasing and improving LGBTQ inclusive data collection. She served on the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) Consensus Panel on the Measurement of Sex, Gender and Sexual Orientation- a report commissioned by the National Institutes of Health in the interest of informing data policy and practices in federal data collection. She is currently serving as a scientific committee member of NASEM’s Assessment of NIH Research on Women’s Health consensus study.

She was previously a Senior Scholar of Public Policy at the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy at the UCLA School of Law, and before that an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at California State University, Long Beach. Dr. Wilson earned a Ph.D. in Psychology from the Community and Prevention Research program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) with a minor in Statistics, Methods, and Measurement, and received postdoctoral training at the UCSF Institute for Health Policy Studies and the UCSF Lesbian Health and Research Center through an Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ) postdoctoral fellowship.
