Join EPIC for a conversation between Ronald Bayer, Professor Emeritus of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, and Gerald Oppenheimer, Professor Emeritus of Health Policy and Management at the City University of New York.
Professor Bayer’s distinguished career has focused on the ethical and policy challenges of public health, with particular attention to HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, drug policy, and tobacco. A leader in the development of public health ethics, he has written extensively in leading medical and public health journals and is the author and co-author of numerous influential books, including AIDS Doctors: Voices from the Epidemic.
Professor Oppenheimer, a historian of public health and epidemiology, has published widely on HIV/AIDS, chronic disease, psychiatric epidemiology, and the ethics of public health. Together, Professors Bayer and Oppenheimer have collaborated on several major works examining the social, political, and moral dimensions of epidemic disease.
Their dialogue will reflect on the history of public health crises, the ethical dilemmas they pose, and the lessons they offer for contemporary policy and practice.
