DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the hybrid Bradford Hill Semina
 r 'The politics of epidemiology and public health 
 in the UK' with Professor Danny Dorling of the Uni
 versity of Oxford.\n\nAttend in person or register
  to attend online at  https://mrc-epid.zoom.us/mee
 ting/register/Xt6c2C_hR7a2xOFqlKb5Dg\n\nWe like to
  present epidemiology as politically neutral\, and
  public health as the science of supporting the he
 alth of the population as a whole. This is not nec
 essarily so.\n\nThere are always choices to be mad
 e. Different academic disciplines have implicit bi
 ases and underlying beliefs\, which can change ove
 r time and differ greatly between contexts. Some o
 f the most obvious examples are between people who
  prefer individualistic explanations and those who
  see this as victim blaming.\n\nA lack of attentio
 n to certain topics is another form of political b
 ias. Why\, for instance\, are we in the UK not mor
 e concerned about how many people choose and can a
 fford to use private health care and dentistry? Wh
 y are we not talking about how life expectancy fel
 l in the UK after 2014? And\, to what extent is ou
 r epidemiology and public health in the UK in the 
 2020s a reflection of UK politics?\n\nAbout Profes
 sor Dorling: \nDanny Dorling works at the Universi
 ty of Oxford. His most recent three books are: “Se
 ven Children”\, "Peak Injustice”\, and “The Next C
 risis”. He works with road crash charity RoadPeace

 onal campaign group Comprehensive Future.
