Political Power, Policy and Health Equity

In its 22nd year, the National Health Equity Research Webcast, hosted by the Gillings School of Global Public Health in partnership with campus units will focus on political power, policy and health equity.
Speakers will discuss importance of policy for advancing health equity, importance of political power for policy development & implementation, and factors that influence distribution of political power such as: public relations, media and lobbying, partisan voter redistricting, voter disqualification, accessibility of polling times & places, handling of absentee and provisional ballots; and vote counting irregularities.
The live broadcast will be aired on June 7th from 1:30 to 4:00PM from the Tate Turner Kuralt Auditorium in the School of Social Work. The webcast will feature a moderated panel of three nationally recognized researchers and practitioners.
