Public Health and Social Justice
*Slide Shows Updated Summer, 2011*
This website contains articles, slide shows, syllabi, and other documents relevant to topics in public health and social justice. References for most of the information contained in the slide shows can be found in the accompanying articles. Presentations are updated every 6-12 months.
The site is aimed at students, educators, and the general public. It addresses the social, economic, environmental, human rights, and cultural contributors to health and illness. Some of the content focuses on the medical humanities and the history of medicine.
All slide shows are open-access. Feel free to use information from the articles and slide shows, indeed even the slides themselves, with appropriate citation. Hopefully this information can be disseminated widely, influencing current and future generations of health professionals and others concerned about creating a more just and peaceful world.
Starred (*) slide shows and articles are what I consider my own most comprehensive postings in a given area. Material from other contributors is not starred, which does not imply that such material is less valuable and/or important, but I am not in a position to judge what others feel qualifies as their most valuable and/or important work. On many pages, submissions from other contributors are the most interesting, and I encourage you to explore as many selections as possible.
I am hoping to add other syllabi and articles from the many talented individuals working in this area. Please email me any articles and/or slide shows you would be willing to share, along with comments, corrections, and suggestions.
