Global Health Security and Diplomacy in the Age of Coronavirus: A Conversation with Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins

As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, the need to effectively and efficiently prevent, detect, and respond to emerging infectious diseases and other chemical and biological threats is paramount. For global health authorities around the world, challenges lie in promoting a collaborative and coordinated approach when implementing global health security programs. With Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins, the class will discuss a range of topics including her experience as a leader and a woman of color in the field of global health security, the U.S. State Department’s role in global health, the implementation of the Global Health Security Agenda, and the challenges of biological, chemical, and nuclear threats the international community faces in the future.

This event is hosted through Georgetown University’s Conversations in Global Health class, which invites global health professionals to Georgetown’s campus to engage in discussions regarding their career paths and expertise. John Monahan guides the structured conversation, and the discussion is open to all Georgetown University faculty, students, and staff.

The Zoom Webinar link and instructions will be sent out to Georgetown faculty, students, and staff who have filled out the RSVP form an hour before the conversation begins. This event will be recorded and a captioned video will be posted after the event date.
