Please join the NYU Health & Human Rights Association for a special Coffee House Series event on Gun Violence and Public Health featuring Ted Alcorn, researcher, journalist, and educator with expertise in gun violence prevention policies and programs. Youth Over Guns will also attend and lead a discussion on gun violence and its relationship to public health. Presenters will speak about gun regulation and policy in the U.S. and how the public health field may be suited to address the problem, as well as gun violence programming and interrupting the cycles of violence that lead to gun-related incidents.
Coffee House Series is a series of informal talks focused on issues within the Health and Human Rights paradigm, hosted for NYU and New York City communities. Students, staff, faculty, and specialists in the field are invited to partake in stimulating dialogue around the issue of choice whilst enjoying light refreshments.
