SUMMARY:2024 Dunwoody Great Decisions Virtual Lecture Series – Pandemic Preparation
DESCRIPTION:The annual 2024 Dunwoody Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series will take place via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 1 – March 21\, 2024 at 7:00 PM. There is a fee to register for the virtual lecture series\, and registration is required to receive the event link. \n\n\n\nMarch 21\, 2024\, Topic: Pandemic PreparationLooking back at the Covid-19 pandemic\, there are many lessons to take away in terms of domestic and international policies. Although this pandemic seems to have waned\, how can we apply these lessons to future pandemics? Will countries cooperate\, and will a consensus emerge on how to manage globalhealth challenges? \n\n\n\nSpeaker: TBA \n\n\n\nPlease note\, topics and speakers are subject to change dates. \n\n\n\nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year. GCIV is the statewide coordinator for the nonpartisan program. To view the other 2024 topics or learn more about Great Decisions\, visit Gciv.org/programs/gd. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonica Schoch-Spana\, PhDSenior Scholar\, Research Professor\nDr. Schoch-Spana\, a medical anthropologist\, is a Senior Scholar with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and a Research Professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Since 1998\, she has focused her public health career on generating and applying evidence to advise policymakers and practitioners on how to collaborate with private citizens\, businesses\, and faith- and community-based groups in efforts to manage catastrophic health events\, both effectively and equitably. Her areas of expertise include community resilience to disaster\, public engagement in policymaking\, crisis and emergency risk communication\, health equity\, and public health emergency management (readiness/response/recovery). \n\n\n\nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic response\, Dr. Schoch-Spana has diligently translated social scientific insights into actionable recommendations for policymakers and practitioners\, including as co-Principal Investigator for CommuniVax—a national ethnographic research coalition whose expert advisory group and 6 local teams partnered with communities of color to tackle COVID-19 vaccine access and acceptance issues and to put equity at the center of the pandemic recovery process. She has also collaborated in generating an ethical framework for the allocation of COVID-19 vaccines\, advanced understanding of the pandemic’s mental health challenges\, contributed to decision-making guidance for governors on safe reopening strategies\, consulted on crisis standards of care and their communication to the public\, and spotlighted the need for a transformative pandemic recovery process focused on the whole person. \n\n\n\nDr. Schoch-Spana’s national advisory roles include formerly serving on the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the Board of Scientific Counselors for the US Environmental Protection Agency and on the Resilient America Roundtable of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine (NASEM)\, which she also cochaired. She has held appointments to numerous other NASEM committees including\, most recently\, those focused on building public trust in public health emergency preparedness and response (PHEPR) science\, enhancing community capacity and resilience to floods in Southeast Texas\, and expanding medical countermeasure delivery and increasing uptake though public-private partnerships. She presently serves on the Executive Board to the CDC and NSF-sponsored Public Health Extreme Events Research Network (PHEER). \n\n\n\nOver the course of her scholarly career\, Dr. Schoch-Spana has helped guide the direction of policy and practice in public health emergency management such that planning and operations are more behaviorally realistic and contribute to health equity; public health communicators are better equipped to meet the population’s informational needs in an emergency; citizens have more venues to contribute their practical\, intellectual\, and ethical inputs to readiness and response endeavors; and national and local communities are striving to withstand and learn from disasters\, rather than merely respond to them. \n\n\n\nFrom 2003 to 2017\, Dr. Schoch-Spana worked at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Center for Health Security; prior to that she worked at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies\, starting in 1998. She received her PhD in cultural anthropology from Johns Hopkins University and a BA from Bryn Mawr College. She is Certified in Public Health by the National Board of Public Health Examiners. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
