-- [ From: Seymour Gross * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- To: All List Members, Emory University is offering a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship at its Center for the Study of Health, Culture, and Society, which will lead to an interdisciplinary (social and biomedical) seminar in September on "Defining the Public Health." The topics to be considered have a direct bearing, I believe, on Parkinson's and other major diseases, and will include, " how the illnesses and disabilities of individuals have emerged as public health issues. What are the critical elements that determine whether a particular ailment or disability is recognized as a public health issue or remains hidden, the experience of isolated sufferers?" This touches on a number of issues which we were confronted with in pursuing passage of the Udall bill.
