Keynote at Humanities Futures Capstone Conference, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina

Rubenstein Library, Duke West Campus 411 Chapel Dr., Room 153, Durham

The capstone conference, titled Health Humanities & Social Justice: Breath, Body, Voice, will focus on the health humanities. We define health on a continuum from the health sciences to states of health, and focus on social justice to bridge the lived experiences of health and wellness in both our academic and non-academic communities. Furthermore, in 2017, we ask: how are the humanities transforming health, and how is health transforming the humanities? And what do these mutual influences suggest concerning the health of the humanities?

Alt-White Supremacy as Public Health Emergency – DAHSM Culpeper Seminar Series

UCSF Laurel Heights Campus 3333 California St., Room 474, San Francisco

Of late, we’ve heard much about the rise of “alt-white supremacy” in the United States—with the assumption that supremacy is a system that places white people atop persons of color, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. The core ideology of supremacy, and the politics and policies that support it, depends on a hierarchy that seemingly privileges and benefits white people at the expense of everyone else. (See, e.g., walls, bans, and other structures and policies.)
