About this event
How should we measure, manage and mitigate the major global health challenges of our time? Sustainability researcher Sukarmina Shankar, mathematician V. Kumar Murty of The Fields Institute, and IHPME Senior Fellow Neil Seeman will speak to three interdependent factors that are critical amid a complex and complex dynamic public health system: embracing trust, pursuing interdisciplinarity, and leveraging alternative data. What is trust? How do we measure it? What is interdisciplinarity? How can we apply it in a purposeful manner to advance public health scholarship? What is alternative data and how can we use it to address public health challenges? What do these concepts portend for leadership in public health and health systems? The speakers’ intertwined experiences amid COVID-19 have furthered their understanding about the importance of these overlapping factors. They are eager to share their learnings and to facilitate a dialogue to refine these concepts and to support future collaborations.
