Is Inequality Making Us Sick?
2009 Unnatural Causes Program Series
This spring the Russell Library and partners from the University of Georgia and the Athens community will host screenings of the film Unnatural Causes, a seven-part documentary that examines how social determinants contribute to health inequities in the United States. The goal of this program series is to begin a community dialogue on the critical public health issues presented in the film.
Over the course of nine weeks (March 22 - May 10, 2009), the event series will be hosted alternately at the Athens Clarke County Public Library and the Paul D. Coverdell Building on UGA's South Campus (home to the College of Public Health) on Sunday afternoons. Each event will pair the screening of one episode from the documentary (29-30 minutes in length) with a panel of speakers whose professional interests complement the topics addressed. After the screening, a moderator will collaborate with panelists to facilitate a dialogue with the audience.
All events are free and open to the public. For more information on this exciting event series, contact jlevinso@uga.edu or (706) 542-5788. Mark your calendars! More info coming soon to the Russell Library homepage.
