À propos de cet audio

Public health is more than data—it’s the conversations that hold communities together. Master the Discourse explores how language shapes social cohesion, drives institutional practices, and influences resilience. Through stories and systems thinking, we surface the words that build (or break) trust—and offer tools to turn shared language into shared solutions.

Through stories and systems thinking, we ask what happens when discourse defines who belongs—and how empathy can rebuild the infrastructure of inclusion.

By shifting the words, we shift how we see ourselves—and the systems around us.

    Sep 25 2025

    Public health is more than data—it’s dialogue. This opening episode explores why discourse matters in shaping health, policy, and resilience. From COVID chaos to everyday inequities, discourse can foster cohesion or lead to collapse. This is our starting point for rethinking public health systems through the words we use.
