Join us for a BBQ and networking as we launch our new SPH Queer Working Group! Open to all staff, faculty, & students who are interested in or currently working on research & education that impacts the LGBTQIA+ Community! Our goal is to create a space for LGBTQIA+ identified staff, faculty & students to discuss current events as well as for allies to engage in learning and development opportunities. There will be a sign up for the new Queer Working Group at the BBQueer event!
This workshop will provide an historical framework to help participants contextualize the public health crises in Gaza, Sudan, and elsewhere. Together we will explore how humanitarian crises and public health challenges often co-exist, especially during disease outbreaks, conflict, and forced displacement. We will also evaluate the remarkable progress of humanitarianism and simultaneously examine the oft-repeated themes that continue to challenge public health and humanitarian response to this day. Most importantly, we will question why lessons identified so often fail to become lessons learned. Although the prevailing narrative is that the complex social, political and ideological challenges facing the world are unprecedented, an examination of the history of public health in humanitarian crises reveals that many struggles confronting us today are neither entirely novel nor unique. Open to all Brown students, staff and faculty.
