What I Do

My dream is to live in a equitable society where everyone has a fair chance to thrive. To do that, I partner with community members to develop and test health interventions that change individual behaviors, relationships, and communities.

Research

Liliane Cambraia Windsor, Ph.D., MSW is Associate Dean for Research and Professor of Social Work at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Windsor’s research focuses on the application of critical consciousness theory to the development of multi-level interventions designed to promote health equity in the fields of substance use disorders treatment, infectious disease, and the criminal legal system in marginalized communities. Dr. Windsor follows community based participatory research (CBPR) principles and the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST). She utilizes a variety of scientific methodologies including ethnography, randomized experimental controlled trials, measurement development, meta-analysis, and online survey. She is the founder and chair of the Critical Consciousness Collaborative (www.the3c.org), a group of researchers, service providers, and consumers who partner with marginalized communities to develop evidence-based health interventions with real world impact.

Dr. Windsor is currently the principal investigator in two large randomized controlled trials funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease to optimize the COVID-19 Prevention and Treatment Cascade.

Dr. Windsor is a 2019-2020 Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow with a placement in Senator Dick Durbin’s office.

Born and raised in Brazil, Dr. Windsor received her Bachelor of Science degree in Education from FCH-FUMEC, Brazil in 1998. She moved to Texas in 2000 to pursue her Master of Science and doctoral degrees in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin.
