Description
Part of the Thinking Globally in 2025 Series. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated how effectively addressing public health challenges demands global sharing of knowledge, treatments, and solutions. At the same time, the emergence of nationalist self-isolating states will likely hinder such jointly-enacted public health approaches, further complicating the public health landscape. How will the emergent political climate affect accessible distribution of preventative care, dissemination of health information, and abilities to address future global health crises in well-coordinated ways? We will discuss insights and resources offered by distinct fields of academic expertise including Medicine, Pathobiology, Sociology, and more. Join experts from the International Studies Association and the University of Connecticut in our second of three public virtual panel discussions on Thinking Globally in 2025.
