HarmCity: Are Baltimore’s Biggest Problems Really Health Problems?

Thursday, March 8 9:35-10:55am – Film Screening

Thursday, March 8 12:45pm-2:00pm – Panel Discussion

Administration Building, Room 120

In many ways, Baltimore’s toughest problems--substance use, gun violence, and crime--are health issues, created and sustained by social marginalization and lack of access to appropriate care. This event explores the ways in which a health perspective can be used to understand the challenges facing Baltimore and to develop new solutions. The panel presentation features guests from Johns Hopkins, who will provide a historical and public health perspective on Baltimore’s challenges. The Rat Film, a new documentary about rat infestation in Baltimore, provides a compelling example of the link between social inequality, the marginalization of some Baltimore neighborhoods, and some health concerns.
