Josh Horwitz is currently a Distinguished Professor of the Practice at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Horwitz works to reduce gun violence by utilizing public health research and health equity analysis to build advocacy campaigns that meet critical opportunities in the policy development process.
 

The team at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions includes highly experienced researchers and public health-trained advocates to address gun violence as an epidemic-level public health emergency. Because gun violence disproportionately impacts communities of color, they ground their work in equity and seek insights from those most impacted on appropriate solutions. This approach combines evidence-based solutions and effective advocacy to save lives.

Josh earned a BA at the University of Michigan in 1985 and a JD at the George Washington University in 1988.

"We don’t have to live with gun violence as a normal part of American life."
