This talk will touch upon three questions. First, what does the concept of justice mean within an American context? Second, what do we know about the extent and depth of poverty and economic inequality in the United States? And third, why do the high levels of poverty and economic inequality that we find in the U.S. undermine the notion of American justice? I’ll argue that answering these three questions is important to providing both an empirical and a moral justification for the concerns and anger that people have been expressing over the past decade regarding economic inequality in the United States.…

From our speaker, Dr. Aimee James, “I will talk about what we can do to reduce cancer risk, including recommendations for cancer screening and early detection. The talk will address current recommendations for cancer prevention and early detection, and some of the evidence behind the recommendations. It will touch on how we can navigate health information to make informed decisions, and how we can support those around us in evidence-based action and health promotion. It will conclude with how we can apply what we know to promote equitable access and health for our communities and the role research plays in this context. Key questions to consider will include: What are the ways we can to promote health? How do we make sense of and filter through all the information we see and hear? What can we do to support those around us in learning health information and access the care they need? What questions can we ask to learn more about research and health?”…

Building strong community means reconsidering each of our individual needs, wants, and desires and instead focusing on what is best for the community. Let's think about bringing more "Supporting Cast Energy" into 2025…
