Pandemic History, Pandemic Future: AIDS, activism and today's agenda for global equity and public health -- a book talk and discussion with Emily Bass, author of 'To End a Plague: America's Fight to Defeat AIDS in Africa" and panelists Joia Mukherjee, MD, MPH and Maureen Luba.

Emily Bass, the author of the first comprehensive history of America's investment in fighting global AIDS, will read from her book and then join MMSc-GHD Program Director Dr. Joia Mukherjee and Maureen Luba in a discussion about what transnational AIDS activism accomplished, what remains undone, and what lessons can be applied to the present Covid-19 and "pandemic preparedness" agendas. Touching on legislative histories, activist intervention, "recipient country" agency in developing and implementing successful programs, and the crucial role of civil society in global governance, this event will search the historical record for the roadmap for a more just, equitable future.
