Justice and Health: How the Affordable Care Act is Fulfilling the Dream
Time: Tue.,
October 29, 4:30 pm
In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream” speech, he describes the journey of black people from slavery to the promise of freedom. He said black people were given a "blank check" and the marchers were in Washington to demand payment. He also said that the people would "….not be satisfied until justice rolled down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream…” This forum will focus on how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is indeed making good on a portion of that "blank check".
The forum will be led by Dr. Stephen B. Thomas, Founding Director of the University of Maryland Center for Health Equity and Professor in the Department of Health Services Administration at the School of Public Health. Over the past 20 years, his scholarship has focused on building trust between minorities and the academic research community. Working with Dr. Sandra Crouse Quinn, their work contributed to justification for the presidential apology to the survivors of the US Public Health Service Study at Tuskegee (more commonly known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1932-1972), the longest non-therapeutic experiment on human beings in the history of medicine and public health). On May 16, 1997, Dr. Thomas was invited to the White House to witness President Bill Clinton deliver the formal apology to the eight remaining survivors of the Tuskegee study. Dr. Thomas believes that the ACA shines light on the long shadow cast by the Tuskegee Study and creates the conditions for a new beginning that points in the direction of Dr. King's dream of health equity for all Americas.
This event is free, and light refreshments will be served. This event is co-sponsored by the University of Maryland Center for Health Equity headquartered in the School of Public Health. For more information about the What Is Your Dream? programming series, click here.

Responding to Nuclear Disasters: In Pursuit of High Flexibility Organizations
Time: Thu, October 17, 12:15pm – 1:30pm
Location: 1203 Van Munching Hall
Link: https://publicpolicy.umd.edu/events/cissm-forum-responding-nuclear-disasters-pursuit-high-flexibility-organizations
The nuclear disaster at Fukushima has led to calls for better emergency preparedness in the commercial nuclear sector. Based on organizational theories of disaster, this talk explores possibilities and challenges for a more effective nuclear emergency response, both on the national and the international level. By comparing and contrasting organizational responses to Fukushima in the United States and the European Union nuclear industries, an increasing tension becomes apparent between approaches that emphasize standardization, regulation, and routine on the one hand, and transparency, reflexivity, and improvisation on the other.
About the speaker
Sonja D. Schmid is an assistant professor in the Department of Science and Technology in Society (STS) at Virginia Tech’s satellite campus in Falls Church. Her expertise is in the social history of technology, science and technology policy, and qualitative studies of risk. Her research examines the ways national energy policies, technological choices, and security concerns shape each other. Her work has focused on the history and organization of nuclear industries in the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, nuclear technology transfer and the technical and regulatory “fixes” that have been proposed to address proliferation concerns, as well as the history and prospects of small power reactor designs.
