Politics of Pandemics - Webinar Online

From the Black Plague to HIV/AIDS, from 1918's influenza to 2020's coronavirus, pandemics and epidemics have always shaped and been shaped by politics. Mass disease outbreaks heighten economic and racial disparities, inflame debates over science and education, and expose vital questions of ethics and public policy. Over centuries of pandemics, doctors, scholars, citizens, and leaders have had surprisingly similar arguments over how to mitigate and treat disease, who and what to devote resources to, and even whether the disease exists at all. Join Gumberg Library for a panel discussion on the political dimension of pandemics. Part of the National Library of Medicine “Politics of Yellow Fever in Alexander Hamilton’s America” exhibit, this panel will feature three esteemed speakers:

Dr. Kristin Klucevsek, College of Liberal Arts
Dr. Lauren O’Donnell, School of Pharmacy
Dr. Eric Vogelstein, School of Nursing
