Event Description
The Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry will be hosting a day-long symposium to evaluate the past, present, and future of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. By the date of the Symposium, the Supreme Court will have heard oral arguments in what will likely prove to be a landmark ruling on the constitutionality of the law in early June 2012. The symposium will feature historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and media experts who will place the law and current health care policy debates in larger social, political, and economic context.
Symposium Presenters (in order of appearance): James A. Schafer, Ph.D., History Department, University of Houston; Beatrix Hoffman, Ph.D., History Department, Northern Illinois University; Jennifer Klein, Ph.D., History Department, Yale University; Karen Curry, Executive Director, Rudman Institute for Entertainment Industry Studies, Drexel University; Theodore Ruger, J.D., University of Pennsylvania Law School; Marie Gottschalk, Ph.D., Political Science Department, University of Pennsylvania; Kevin Egan, Ph.D., Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry, Drexel University.
This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided for those who register by April 15, 2012. To register, please send an email, subject line “PPACA Symposium,” with your name and affiliation, to Kevin Egan (kde25@drexel.edu). |
