Ethics and Philosophy
Survey of Stressors Faced by Epidemiologists
The COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, and pressures on scientists have made epidemiologic research challenging. Epidemiology researchers face unique difficulties as well as new opportunities. To understand the situation better, in July 2021 the ISEE Ethics & Philosophy Committee will launch a survey on the living situation, adversities and health of researchers.
The survey will provide results that the society can use to improve health in general and the health of researchers in particular. All ISEE members will be invited to participate. For more information contact Jutta Lindert.
Anti-Racism Task Force
ISEE’s Anti-Racism Task Force, in partnership with the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research and the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Sciences, is hosting a 3-part webinar series on the origins and meaning of race. Each session will consist of a one-hour screening of an episode from the award-winning documentary series Race - The Power of an Illusion followed by a 30-minute live streamed panel discussion. Register Here.
This ongoing course will assist in identifying the different types of studies in environmental epidemiology, for their application in the analysis of the environment and public policies, in order to monitor diseases and other population health problems, based on the recognition of risk factors and causality criteria.
