The Clarkson University Libraries invite you to join them in participating in an inspiring panel discussion at the intersection of global health and social justice with the founders of Partners in Health on Thursday, October 22, 2020. This event is sponsored and hosted by ProQuest.
In this session you’ll meet Dr. Jim Yong Kim, Ophelia Dahl and Dr. Paul Farmer, the founders of Partners In Health, a nonprofit social justice organization with deep experience in treating infectious disease outbreaks globally, including COVID-19. Partners In Health is the subject of the best-selling book Mountains Beyond Mountains and the award-winning documentary Bending the Arc from executive producers Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Damon & Heidi Lindelof.
The discussion will be moderated by Tabitha Jackson, director of The Sundance Film Festival.
What you’ll get out of this session:
- A deeper awareness of how socio-economic inequality results in health and medical inequities, contributing to the spread of disease among the resource-poor populations.
- You’ll be empowered to look at these issues in your own communities and inspired to develop strategies to advocate for your most vulnerable neighbors.
