This episode brings forth interdisciplinary discussions at the intersections of public health, history, and Latina/o/x communities. We want to explicitly link events and movements in US Latinx history to current public health issues. For this panel, experts in Latinx history and public health are paired to discuss ways in which historical events set precedence and foundations for continued and ongoing disparities in health for generations of Latinx. As such, we hope to bridge a massive intellectual and disciplinary divide between the humanities and social sciences at a time when cross-pollination is sorely needed to address health disparities for historically marginalized and racialized communities in the United States.
