Socialist Caucus

 Submit Abstract
The Socialist Caucus of the American Public Health Association (SCAPHA), in keeping with this year's theme "Public Health without Borders" and our ongoing commitment to creating a just and healthy world, invites submissions with a critical political perspective on the impact of global capitalism on health, health care, and the environment. Topics may include social class, race and racism in health and health care; the role of corporations in health, health care and the environment; progressive perspectives on women's health issues, and on the health of marginalized populations; the movement for national health care; and, in general, the struggle for health and justice in the United States and around the world.
  • Class, Race and Racism and Health Care Justice
  • Environmental Justice and Health
  • The Impact of Global Capitalism on Health, Health Care and the Environment
  • The Politics of Health Care Reform
  • Women's Health: Progressive Perspectives
The Caucus welcomes submissions from progressive voices who wish to share their vision at the 2008 conference, and especially welcomes students and young professionals to submit proposals.
When submitting a session proposal (not just a single abstract), please individually submit all abstracts to be included in that session through the web submission process and inform the program planner via e-mail that you have organized a complete session (see address below). The e-mail should include the name, address, phone number and e-mail address of the session organizer, the title of the session, a list of the individual abstracts to be included in the session, their presenters, and the web ID of each individual abstract.

Abstract submission deadline: 2/5/08

For more information, please e-mail Martha Livingston and Susan Moscou
