Public Health and Social Justice Web site    

I have recently developed a Web site covering public health and social justice, found at http://www.phsj.org or http://www.publichealthandsocialjustice.org. The site contains articles, slide shows, syllabi, links and other documents relevant to topics in public health and social justice. References for most of the information contained in the slide shows can be found in the accompanying articles. Presentations will be updated a few times per year.

The site is aimed at students, educators and the general public. It grew out of my recognition that medical schools, and even schools of nursing and public health, tend to inadequately address the social, economic, environmental, human rights and cultural contributors to health and disease.

Feel free to use information from the articles and slide shows, indeed even the slides themselves, with appropriate citation. It is my hope that this information can be disseminated widely, influencing current and future generations of health professionals and others concerned about creating a more just and peaceful world.  I hope to add other syllabi and articles from the many talented individuals working in this area. Please e-mail me any articles and/or slide shows you would be willing to share, along with comments, corrections, and suggestions for the content.
