This opening keynote panel of the 2020 Health Humanities Consortium (HHC) conference will explore the state of American politics in the context of world events and a vital 2020 election year. Thought and opinion leaders will join in a moderated public conversation to discuss hot-button political topics, ranging from healthcare, to climate change, to guns, to arts, letters, and the role of the media. The panel will discuss questions such as, “What are the best ways forward for a divided nation?”, “Can music, literature, and art bring people together, or do they reflect our divides?”, “How can communities best address issues such as health equity, justice, and inclusion?”, “Does media enable, enhance, or thwart political participation?” and, “What desired political futures can we imagine for individual and public health?”
