Power, Privilege, and Public Health in the United States: A Panel Discussion and Community Conversation

Description

Interested in public health, health care, medicine, social sciences, policymaking and history?

Join a thought-provoking and critical conversation about how power and privilege shape American healthcare, inform policy, education, the sciences, and research—and learn how we can contribute to a more equitable system for all.

On Tuesday, Nov. 18, from 6 to 8 p.m., join JHU's Common Question, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Writing Center, and the major in Medicine, Sciences, and Humanities for a conversation with JHU's Lorraine T. Dean (BSPH) and Keilah A. Jacques (SoN) and a panel of distinguished guests including JHU's Graham Mooney, associate professor in JHU's School of Medicine; Eric Cesar Morales, development director at Movimiento Administradores de Arte en Pensilvania; Sharon D. Jones-Eversley, professor emeritus in the Department of Family Science at Towson University; and Lawrence T. Brown, award-winning author of The Black Butterfly.

The event will feature an interactive panel discussion with introductory remarks by Ebony McGee (School of Education) and a shared meal.

The first 30 JHU students to register will receive a free copy of Jacques and Dean's groundbreaking edited volume from Oxford University Press, Power, Privilege, and Public Health: Theory & Practice.

Students are also encouraged to join the conversation early by participating in the Power, Privilege, and Public Health Visual Discussion and Contest.
