History session: "Live from the City of Sisterly & Brotherly Love: The Founding Mothers and Fathers of Public Health & Social Justice" |
|
| Since Philadelphia is known as the home of the "founding fathers" of the United States, the Spirit of 1848's history committee thought it would be timely and appropriate to reflect on the founders (mothers and fathers, of course) of public health from around the world. We will organize a mini-extravaganza of 3-minute presentations, music, costumes, and visuals based upon figures from the distant and recent past whose work revolves around questions of social justice and public health. Each participant will pick a character--a favorite mother/father or a public health figure s/he would like to get to know better, identify a stirring/inspiring/provocative/dramatic text (part of a speech, letter, article, or book) of not more than 500 words (to be performed in 3 minutes), and prepare a brief biographical sketch for their character of not more than 100 words.
To see an initial list of figures includes, pleae visit our web site at: http://www.progressivehn.org/
Participants will also be asked to attend a rehearsal at in Philadelphia on Sunday November 10, 2002, from 4-6pm.
People interested in participating should email Anne-Emanuelle Birn at:
aebirn@newschool.edu
with the name of a figure they wish to portray, a 100-word biographical sketch, and a 500-word written excerpt from this figure by January 23, 2002. Please DO NOT submit your abstract to APHA as we will NOT be accepting abstracts for this session via the APHA website.
