Sickness and the City

Join American historian Billy Smith and epidemiologist Michael Levy for a conversation that uses both science and history to understand the intersection of urban development and the spread of contagions.

This program is co-presented with the Consortium for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine with funding generously provided by the Pew Charitable Trusts as part of a three year series of forums that will expand public knowledge about the history of pathbreaking scientific development and their impact on society.
