This event is part of our fall election series, which invites leading thinkers to reflect on key issues for health in the election. This program will consider the intersection of the 2024 election and the health of migrants. It aims to challenge us to think about the health consequences of U.S. immigration and border policy.

Dr. William J. Bicknell endowed this annual lectureship to provide “a periodic but regular infusion of iconoclasts and original thinkers who will bring ideas…that stretch, upset, stimulate, and leave us with renewed energy and commitment.”
