Reimagining U.S. Public Health Preparedness and Response: A Seminar Series

COVID-19 challenged traditional ideas of “public health preparedness” and exposed tragic gaps in the way institutions and societies prepare for and respond to public health emergencies. The next century will be challenged by further pandemics, climate-driven crises, and other threats. This requires reimagining our approach to prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery from such threats. 

This seminar series will offer the perspectives of public health practitioners, community leaders and scholars in envisioning the transformation we need and describing the paths to make these changes a reality. 

This seminar series will offer five sessions (1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/6 and 4/3) all taking place between 4:00-5:15pm at the Mailman School of Public Health. Follow this link to register and to view a full schedule including session topics and speakers.

    The Untold Stories Exhibition will showcase specific Untold Stories, highlighting the works and impacts of individuals, groups, and events. Untold Stories in Public Health is a course that introduces students to individuals, groups, and events whose impact on public health has been left out of US history. From African American physicians whose work has gone unnoticed, to policy makers whose legacy has yet to be written, this course reviews the unsung heroes, their impact, the discrimination and structural racism they faced, and the work they left behind. We invite you to celebrate this project and listen to the stories from some of the heroes themselves. Food and drinks will be provided.
