Dean's Seminar: Global Health Storytelling
Thursday September 28th, 4:30-6:30pm Heibert
#Enough. After the Orlando night club massacre of 49 people in June 2016, the BU School of Public Health created the #Enough campaign to express outrage and sorrow and extend a call to action. This is just one of the many ways to retell the story of homicide, suicide, and injury caused by fire arms. These narratives focus on fractured communities, devastated families, and lives lost at each end of the gun. As public health activists and researchers rewrite this polarizing tale we have an opportunity to work closely with journalists and artists to combine numbers with real voices and real lives to inspire urgency.
