Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ep 124 The history of migration and how borders influence health with Professor Heba Gowayed
Q: How has U.S. immigration policy historically shaped health and opportunity for migrants?
Policy shifts from exclusionary acts to revised quotas and eventually to stricter enforcement have systematically altered who can access health care, work, and social supports, often widening disparities for non-white migrants.
ep 124 The history of migration and how borders influence health with Professor Heba Gowayed
Q: What kind of language should we be using when describing migrants and refugees?
Center people first, refer to individuals as people rather than reducing them to labels like 'refugee' in everyday life, and acknowledge their humanity beyond their immigration status.
ep 118: Undervalued and Underfunded // women's health, equity, and community voices with Kanwal Haq
Q: Thank you for sharing those stories. How has your medical anthropology degree shaped the way you view healthcare being received and distributed in the US?
It shifted her focus from an individual to a macro level, emphasizing systemic change, community-led solutions, and creating accessible, equitable health education and services.
Episode 128: From local to global: Weaving together communities for Planetary Health
Q: Could you explain what the three big change areas are and how they guide your work?
The three change areas are reimagining governance institutions for the 21st century, engaging the education sector to revamp planetary health education, and engaging businesses to operate in alignment with planetary health principles. These pillars guide policy, education, and industry practices to reduce environmental degradation while improving health equity.
ep 117: LIVE SPECIAL: Community Sun Day Event: Celebrating Green Energy and Centering Environmental Justice
Q: What keeps you motivated about the future and what projects are you most inspired by?
The future is bright as the clean energy transition creates better jobs and greater equity, with subsidies and federal incentives helping workers move from polluting to clean-energy roles, and community-led education and leadership programs expanding opportunities for youth to shape policy and practice across regions.
