EP #230 -03.01.2021 - Recovery, Disability, and Politics in the Pandemic

Today is a discussion in partnership w/the Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest of Villanova University.  I will be talking with Britt Dahlberg and Jessica Martucci about their project: Beyond Better: Experiences of Recovery, Disability, and Politics in Pandemics.

Britt Dahlberg completed a Phd in Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. Before BeyondBetter, she co-designed and led the five-year REACH Ambler Project to use ethnography, oral history, and theater to open up spaces for public dialogue about environmental risk and uncertainty in social and historical context. Britt recently took up the role of Director of Research, of the Center for Humanism, Professionalism, Ethics, and Law, at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University

Jessica Martucci completed a PhD in the History and Sociology of Science, and later earned a Masters degree in Bioethics, at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to launching Beyond Better, she spent three years leading an Oral History Project that documented the experiences of disabled Scientists.
