Why Public Health Is Inescapably Political With Professor Larry Brown

On the latest episode of the podcast, Professor Sparer is joined by Columbia Mailman professor and political scientist Larry Brown for a conversation about whether public health can ever truly be separated from politics. They discuss why local leadership is essential to rebuilding public trust, the potential impact of the midterm elections, and what the next generation of public health professionals needs to know about navigating the political realities of their work.

Lawrence D. Brown is a professor of health policy and management and serves as Interim Chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management in the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. He is one of the founding members of the Center for Public Health Implementation.
