THE SPIRIT OF 1848 LISTSERV:

The Spirit of 1848 e-mail community serves an activist network of people concerned about social inequalities in health, in the US and other countries. Linking politics, passion, and public health, we are organized as an official Caucus of the American Public Health Association. Our work focuses on: politics of public health data; curriculum and progressive pedagogy; e-networking; and progressive public health history.

We welcome posting on social justice & public health that provide:

a) information (e.g. about conferences or job announcements or publications relevant to and making explicit links between social justice & public health), and

b) substantive queries or comments directly addressing issues relevant to and making explicit links between social justice and public health.

To subscribe to the Spirit of 1848 Listserv,
send an e-mail to spiritof1848-subscribe@yahoogroups.com with the word "subscribe" in the subject line.

Please do not post messages that are ONLY about social justice/political issues or ONLY about public health issues that do not explicitly connect issues of social justice & public health.

Please do not post petitions containing text suggesting (or requesting) that signatures should be sent to the Spirit of 1848 bulletin board, as the signatures & replies clog up the works. Instead, if you have a petition you want to circulate, please post a notice about the petition (which can include its text) and provide YOUR email address so people can email you with their signature and/or get a copy of the petition that is to be signed (or else provide the email address and/or website where people should send their signature and/or get a copy of the petition).

Also, to limit e-mail volume, please do not send posts directed toward a single individual to the list at large.
