Dean Galea,

Your THG posts and recent book, Within Reason, helped inform the Framing the Future 2030 (FTF 2030) reports, and this post on regaining trust, especially, resonates with the FTF 2030 Fostering Community Partnerships for a Healthier World report recommendations, at https://aspph.box.com/s/tyz8b8wqvlucve6aq0a2h1buw9dxw4ld for others who have not seen it yet.

Thanks to Dr. Bishai below for the good suggestions on helpful readings on humility and dignity in PH. Freire and Checkov from literature are familiar and looking forward to checking out Hicks.

Self-satisfaction is at the root of the elitism that is antithetical to trust. There is a special burden on public health educators to put trust and humility into the curriculum. Yet the bar for an accredited MPH program is still not high enough. A curriculum in dignity should be our highest priority. I would nominate Donna Hicks and Paollo Freire along with Chekhov as required reading in public health.
