We are excited to launch the web series hosted by Dr. Alexandre White & Marian Robbins – Epidemic//Endemic!

We invite you to check out our website, view our introduction video, and submit questions for our upcoming guest – Antoinette Cooper. Questions will be accepted from now until February 13th at 12pm EST.

Antoinette Cooper is a poet, Collective Trauma Facilitator, and founder of Black Exhale, a non-profit dedicated to healing intergenerational trauma in Black Communities. Our conversation will focus on how critique of medicine from outside academia and medicine is critically important to making medicine better and more effective for all of us. All questions are welcome, but will be asked at the discretion of the hosts.

 

 

 

Premise:

To much of the public, the world of medicine is opaque, incredibly technical, and often inaccessible in terms of receiving care, understanding that care, developing scientific expertise, and the vast array of disciplines necessary to its practice. In turn, the world of medicine and medical care is cut off from much of the day-to -day life of Americans as well as people around the world. With this web series we seek to demystify not only medical knowledge but also the people who practice medicine at the levels of the clinical, public health, and health social sciences and humanities.

Sponsored by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute and the Johns Hopkins Center for Medical Humanities and Social Medicine, this interactive web series aims to bring together thinkers in medicine, the arts, social sciences, and humanities who speak to the critical questions and challenges facing public health and medicine today and engage in questions from a larger audience.
