To recognize and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Spirit of 1848, this session will consider advances, setbacks, and challenges involving research on social inequalities in health. After a brief introduction describing the mission & past decade of activity of the Spirit of 1848, nine panelists will each briefly reflect on the current state of – and next steps needed to develop -- research on understanding & addressing social disparities in health in relation to: social class, racism, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, environmental justice, urban health, contextual analysis, and issues of equity, justice, and theoretical frameworks for advancing work linking concerns with social justice & public health. The panelists will then be asked respond to a series of questions intended to spark spirited discussion about theories, hypotheses, constructs, methods, and data needed to move forward work & action on social disparities in health. These questions will be prepared by members of the Spirit of 1848 Politics of Public Health Data sub-committee, who also will prepare a resource guide listing books, articles, and websites relevant to the topics addressed. By raising critical questions and sharing critical resources, the session is intended to give all concerned new ideas & tools & energy to do the needed work.
