HYBRID – Can’t We All Just Get Well? Shaping Public Health in the Modern United States
Can’t We All Just Get Well? Shaping Public Health in the Modern United States
Discussions of public health in the wake of the COVID pandemic continue to attract interest, and these conversations build on such earlier public health emergencies as the polio and AIDS epidemics. All these moments can highlight discussions over who and what belongs within the arena of “public health,” and they also illuminate the connections among individuals, families, medical professionals, government officials and other parts of the broader national community. Join Sunil Dasgupta, UMBC Political Science Program Director at the Universities at Shady Grove, and Andrew Nolan, UMBC History Program Director at the Universities at Shady Grove, as they discuss the political dimensions of and provide historical context for how people in the United States have wrestled promoting the health of their publics.
