Panel on global health equity, legacy of Paul Farmer, April 18

April 11, 2023

Join the Marquette College of Nursing, the Department of Theology and the Institute for Women’s Leadership for a panel on global health equity and the legacy of Paul Farmer on Tuesday, April 18, at 5 p.m. in Clark Hall 111. 

In this panel moderated by Claire Fellbaum, a senior student, three experts on global health, bioethics and theology will engage in a conversation on global health equity.  

As a global health leader and co-founder of Partners In Health, Paul Farmer was innovative in his way of delivering healthcare to the poorest parts of the world. Liberation theology was a motivation for his work, grounded in a preferential option for the poor in healthcare.  

Following Farmer’s death in February 2022, a group of international scholars joined together to begin a conversation about Farmer’s legacy for global health and theological ethics. As a result, they published “A Prophet to the Peoples: Paul Farmer’s Witness and Theological Ethics.” This book will guide this panel, which includes:

  • Dr. Laura Cassidy, professor and director of epidemiology, associate dean of global health and founding director of masters in global health equity at the Medical College of Wisconsin
  • Dr. Alexandre Martins, assistant professor of theology in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences and co-editor of “A Prophet to the Peoples: Paul Farmer’s Witness and Theological Ethics”
  • Jessica Zemlak, assistant professor in the College of Nursing

RSVP to silas.hasselbrook@marquette.edu before Friday, April 14.
