Celebrating & Critically Reflecting On 20 Years Of The Spirit Of 1848: Passion, Politics, And Public Health
Tuesday, November 18, 2014: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Oral
Starting with the APHA 2002 Conference, the Spirit of 1848 – whose sessions focus on the inextricable links between social justice & public health – has sponsored an “integrative” session which integrates the three themes of our Caucus: the social history of public health, the politics of public health data, and progressive pedagogy for public health.
For APHA 2014, our integrative session will celebrate and reflect on 20 years of the Spirit of 1848 caucus, which was founded in the fall of 1994 at APHA to advance work linking social justice & public health.
Components will include:
(a) 5 short invited presentations: one reflecting on what the Spirit of 1848 has accomplished over the past 20 years, and one each on critical thoughts regarding persistent and emerging challenges pertaining to our 3 foci of our caucus: (1) the social history of public health, (2) the politics of public health data, and (3) progressive pedagogy, plus the additional integrative focus we first institutionalized in 2002, of encouraging the next generation in linking social justice & public health, via our student poster session; and
(b) winners & runner-ups from a contest we will hold for songs, chants, and short videos intended to galvanize action to protest health inequities, feed the spirit, and advance health equity! Critical humor & reflection & dynamism is strongly encouraged!
Session Objectives: Describe key components of what the Spirit of 1848 caucus has accomplished over the past 20 years.
Explain why the Spirit of 1848 caucus has its name!
Explain why the Spirit of 1848 has set its foci on: (1) the social history of public health, (2) the politics of public health data, and (3) progressive pedagogy, plus the additional integrative focus we first institutionalized in 2002, of encouraging the next generation in linking social justice & public health, via our student poster session.
