About In Solidarity: Connecting Power, Place and Health
In a complex, modern society, we’re deeply connected in ways that often go unnoticed. On In Solidarity: Connecting Power, Place and Health, hosts Ericka Burroughs-Girardi and Beth Silver explore these connections through conversations with some of the brightest minds and biggest thinkers in public health. Burroughs-Girardi and Silver talk with authors, activists and scientists to investigate historical context, implications for health, and evidence-based solutions. Join the conversation on In Solidarity today.
