SPH插头：夏季选择
SPH社区的成员分享对书籍、播客、节目和其他内容的推荐，这些内容在他们学习、澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究和实践公共卫生时引起了他们的共鸣。
In the wake of the recent publication of Interim Dean 迈克尔•斯坦‘s new book 生活：美国工人阶级与他们的医生交谈, eight 公共卫生学院 community members share their recommendations for content that has resonated with them and that they feel others in public health would appreciate in this moment.
《遗产：一位黑人医生承认医学中的种族主义 /阿伦·平克特
亚伦夫妇, (SPH’19), an aspiring civil rights lawyer, recommends the book 《遗产：一位黑人医生承认医学中的种族主义 by Uché Blackstock. 年轻时，平克特的母亲死于乳腺癌，因为她的早期症状被忽视了，而诊断为时已晚，无法进行有效治疗。 This personal experience with racism in medicine ultimately led him to study law and author a 请注意 in his university’s law review that explored racial disparities in healthcare and proposed a possible legal mechanism for civil rights plaintiffs to hold hospitals accountable.
Blackstock’s book resonated deeply with him, Pinkett says. “[D]r. Blackstock went to Harvard Med, worked at a community hospital in New York where she grew up, talked about her own mother’s passing, and then dealing with […] what it’s like to be a black physician in academic medicine and then also in community medicine, trying to advance and then also trying to help [both] patients that look like you and patients that don’t look like you. [It] was a really incredible book.”
这个播客会杀了你 /安娜·斯塔登
安娜顿斥责道 (SPH’25) is a big fan of 这个播客会杀了你. Created and hosted by two now-graduated PhD 学生 in disease ecology both named Erin, the podcast has nearly 200 episodes, each exploring different infectious diseases. “I recommend this podcast to individuals in public health because it ties historical, cultural, and scientific contexts together in the discussion of important public health topics,” says Staddon, who studied 流行病学和生物统计学 while an MPH student at SPH. “Through multidisciplinary communication, the hosts provide insight into prevention and control strategies and engage with current global health issues.”
人民公敌 / Kinkini报告
Kinkini报告 (SPH’25), who also studied epi/biostats as an MPH student, did not miss a beat in recommending the classic play 人民公敌 by Henrik Ibsen. Bhaduri在获得药学学士学位后从印度来到SPH就读。 During her final semester of the MPH program, she completed a research fellowship with the 精神健康和创伤中心, applying her data collection and analysis skills to the documentation of policies that affect transgender and nonbinary 学生 on U.S. college campuses. Henrik Ibsen is her favorite playwright, Bhaduri says, and 人民公敌 will resonate with anyone who has ever felt that the truth has been defeated—a theme, she 请注意s, that is unfortunately common in the field of public health.
“It is a must-read for those in public health because it explores the tension between truth and public interest, highlighting the moral dilemmas [in] exposing inconvenient facts for the greater good,” says Bhaduri. “The play serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of integrity in the face of resistance when challenging popular beliefs, especially when public health is at stake.”
皮特的 /卡拉·威利斯
卡拉威利斯 (CAS’08), assistant dean of marketing and communications, emphatically recommends that everyone at SPH watch the medical drama 皮特的 on HBO. An emergency room procedural drama from the creators of ER, 皮特的 takes viewers along for a sweeping looking into the health challenges facing Americans. 从资金不足、人手不足，到漫长的等待时间和精疲力竭，该剧每集都交织着健康的上游和下游决定因素。 Released in January 2025, the show has quickly garnered 赞美 for its authentic and humanizing portrayal of difficult, real-life scenarios.
“It is remarkable to find a show that is an hour by hour look at life in a busy and overcrowded emergency room,” says Willis. “[皮特的] tackles some of society’s most pressing public health problems: hospital budget and 澳门威尼斯人注册ing issues, mental health, racism, gun violence, elder care, trauma, Black maternal health, substance use, and so much more. It is gripping and raw, but the storytelling is done with empathy and care.”
弯曲弧线 /约翰·兰伯特
约翰·兰伯特‘s (SPH’23) public health career began as a COVID-19 contact tracer and later outbreak specialist at 卫生伙伴 (PIH), a global health nonprofit headquartered in Boston. Founded by renowned physician and medical anthropologist Paul Farmer, PIH began as a community-based health project in rural Haiti and has since expanded to other countries as well as become Haiti’s largest nongovernmental healthcare provider, serving an estimated 450万人. “The people at PIH are universally incredible, and they do an amazing amount of important work,” says Lambert, who credits his experience at the nonprofit with first sparking his interest in epidemiology, a subject he would later study as an MPH student at SPH. 兰伯特建议该领域的每个人都观看PIH的纪录片 弯曲弧线。
“This film captures the origin of PIH and demonstrates that it is possible to do what others call ‘impossible’ in medicine and public health,” says Lambert. “It also emphasizes PIH’s commitment to solidarity—not charity—in partnering with people and building real and lasting systems.”
献给阿尔杰农的花 /洪玲歌
林格在香港 (SPH’25), who studied 流行病学和生物统计学 and completed a 实习 with the Medical and Scientific Affairs Team at Pfizer as a student at SPH, recommends that the public health community check out the book 献给阿尔杰农的花 by Daniel Keyes. 这部科幻小说讲述了查理·戈登的故事，他是一名32岁的智障男子，他接受了一项旨在提高智力的新手术。 Careful not to give too much away, Hong says, “It’s a powerful story about the ethics of scientific experimentation and the impact of social and emotional factors on well-being. It serves as a reminder [to people] in public health to consider the human side of research and the ethical responsibilities we hold.”
理解漫画：看不见的艺术 /卢卡斯·努尔米
Lucas Nurmi, an MPH student studying 流行病学和生物统计学 as well as 健康传播和促进, recommends the book 理解漫画：看不见的艺术 by Scott McCloud. 努尔米说，这本书以漫画书的形式写成，概述了漫画的历史，并探讨了漫画用来传达思想的语言。 这本215页的非虚构作品讨论了漫画作为一种交流媒介和艺术形式。 Nurmi, a new member of SPH’s 奇怪的联盟, arrived at his decision to suggest 理解漫画 to the SPH community because “… so much of the queer canon is defined by comics and graphic novels,” he says. By equipping readers with the vocabulary to appreciate comics as a medium, Nurmi feels that McCloud’s book is a good precursor to the many popular comics and graphic novels featuring LGBTQ+ characters and themes.
孤独的反义词 / 马丁尼Geary-Souza
马丁尼Geary-Souza (SPH’25), who studied 社区评估、项目设计、实施和评估 as an MPH student, recommends 孤独的反义词, a posthumous collection of essays and stories by Marine Keegan. Keegan penned the title essay “孤独的反义词” for her peers at Yale University on the occasion of their commencement. 仪式结束后不久，22岁的基冈死于一场车祸。 与此同时，她的文章在网上疯传。 In her memory, Keegan’s family and friends compiled the piece and a selection of her other work together to form the book.
“I think that [the] book is really important for anybody in public health because we work in such a difficult field, especially right now, and it really emphasizes just how important it is to have community and to surround yourself with the people you love, even when things are really difficult,” says Geary-Souza. Geary-Souza本人也是一位熟练的作家，她以自己在医疗保健系统中诊断出复杂的创伤后应激障碍和功能性神经障碍的个人经验，倡导在临床教育中普遍实施创伤知情护理。 As a student at SPH, she investigated ways to improve the experience of patients with a history of trauma in the Department of Gynecology at Boston Children’s Hospital, conducted research on provider interactions with patients around cannabis use as a student fellow with the 创伤和心理健康中心, and completed a 实习 with 芬威学院 culminating in the publication of a brief on the importance of universal trauma-informed care for LGBTQ+ patients.
