OVERVIEW

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has focused everyone’s attention on the vital importance of public health. It presented this field with certain challenges and drew attention to areas that need improvement such as health equity, social policy, and fiscal policy.

The CEAS Public Health Symposium will bring together faculty and graduate students from various disciplines with a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches to highlight whole-body mental health and healthy behaviors; health access and communication in the contexts of race, class, gender, sexuality, caste, ethnicity and other intersectionalities; and quick and informed responses to health risks and public health emergencies or pandemics.
