As we navigate a world facing ongoing and worsening health disparities and social inequalities, this panel seeks to explore the intersection of health equity and socialism, past, present, and future. We are looking for 2-3 individuals in the fields of health, political economy or health policy who are interested in volunteering their time to contribute to this panel. Areas of experience or expertise can include but are not limited to: healthcare, public policy, economics, political theory, system change, community organising and other related areas. Your insights and contributions can shed light on the current and potential role socialism plays in achieving equitable access to healthcare, dismantling systemic inequalities, and promoting collective well-being. Whether you are a scholar, a practitioner, an activist, or a community organiser, your unique voice and experiences are valuable in fostering critical discussions about the future of healthcare in a socialist context. To participate, please submit a short bio (200-400 words) highlighting your background, expertise, and how your work or experiences relate to the panel topic. We encourage submissions from individuals with a wide range of experiences and perspectives, as diversity strengthens the depth of our discussions. Preference will be given to new and emerging scholars as we wish this panel to be an opportunity to highlight voices that have yet to be heard and to assist those wanting more experience within their professional careers.
