Oral
The Politics of War & Health: Linking Social Justice & Public Health--History, Data, and Pedagogy
Starting with the APHA 2002 Conference, the Spirit of 1848 has added a new oral session, in which we integrate the 3 themes of our Caucus. These pertain to the inextricable links between social justice & public health, as embodied in: the politics of public health data, the social history of public health, and progressive pedagogy. This new session will accordingly complement our 3 other oral sessions, which provide opportunities for in-depth discussion pertaining to each of these domains. Based on discussion at the Spirit of 1848 business meeting at the 2002 APHA conference, we have decided that the focus of our 2nd "integrative" oral session will be on "THE POLITICS OF WAR & HEALTH: linking social justice & public health--history, data, and pedagogy". For this session, we are seeking 3 presentations-one on history, one on data, one on pedagogy-as follows (and noting that each presentation should consider the proposed theme in relation to social inequalities in health, especially involving class, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nationality, region, etc, and within a larger framework linking issues of social justice & public health).This session will be in the Monday afternoon 4:30 to 6:00 pm APHA time slot.
