American Journal Of Public Health Podcast

Is the new public health activism different from the old one? I address this question because we are in 2018 and that 50 years ago, 1968 remains the symbolic year of a transformative decade, the sixties, from which public health emerged profoundly transformed. Today there is a new public health activism challenges which challenges injustices. How different is the new activism from the older one? My guests are Prof Nick Freudenberg, from CUNY, and Prof Jeanne Stellman, from Columbia, both public health scientists who were student activists in the sixties, and Kelsey Schertz, who is currently a MPH student.
