The panel of experts explored the findings of the newly released "Ending Unequal Treatment: Strategies to Achieve Equitable Health Care and Optimal Health for All" report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The overarching focus of this virtual event—health equity and justice—is the theme of this year’s Campus Community Book Project.
The next book project title is Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society, by Arline T. Geronimus, a professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. It is part of this year’s theme, health equity and justice, and will guide discussions, lectures and other events, culminating in a campus visit by the author on March 5.
University and community members are encouraged to participate in Campus Community Book Project programming, all of which are open to the public and most of which are free. We also encourage UC Davis instructors to adopt the book for courses across the disciplines.
