This Public Health Conversation Starter features Timothy Callaghan, Associate Professor of health policy and politics at BUSPH, in conversation with Yvette Cozier, BUSPH Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. Dr. Callaghan shares about his research on vaccine hesitancy.

Our Conversation Starters engage leading thinkers in short discussions around issues of consequence in public health. This Starter is part of SPH Reads, our school-wide reading program hosted by the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. In conjunction with this year’s book selection, Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, Dean Cozier is having discussions with leaders on the themes of political divides, class, and race.
