Information About the Theme: Amidst a climate of global uncertainty, there is no more critical issue than taking care of ourselves and each other. From international dialogue to local organizing, the DCF looks to engage our entire
community through this issue. Some questions that align with the theme are:
- How does one grapple with stark disparities in international health care?
- What is our "bystander responsibility" when we see unhealthy behaviors?
- How does our political system impact our health and well being?
- Does caring about faraway health problems even make a difference?
The DCF has created a focus for each term that will help students, staff, and faculty explore elements of the theme. Priority will be given to proposals that align with our sub-themes; however, we will accept all proposals that align with our main theme.
- Winter: "Economics of Healthcare:" The haves, the have-nots, and the mismatch of services and needs.
- Spring: "Body Image:" What we see, what we think, and how we feel.
