Disease Stigma Unmasked

Victor Healey

Beschreibung

"Disease Stigma Unmasked" explores the complex relationship between society's fear-driven responses to illnesses and scientific reality, revealing how misconceptions and prejudices shape public health outcomes throughout history.The book masterfully weaves together historical examples—from medieval leprosy to modern COVID-19—demonstrating how marginalized communities often become targets of blame during health crises, perpetuating cycles of discrimination that impact healthcare access and community well-being.Through a compelling blend of epidemiological data, historical records, and contemporary case studies, the book illuminates recurring patterns in disease-related stigma across different eras. Particularly fascinating is its examination of successful public health campaigns that effectively countered misinformation, offering valuable insights for modern health communicators and policy makers.The analysis spans both infectious and non-infectious conditions, incorporating perspectives from epidemiology, sociology, and communication studies to build a comprehensive understanding of how stigma develops and persists. The text progresses logically from historical pandemics to modern outbreaks, examining how digital media and global connectivity influence contemporary health-related prejudices.What sets this work apart is its practical approach to addressing stigma, providing concrete frameworks for developing culturally sensitive health communications and community education programs. By combining rigorous academic analysis with accessible language, it serves as an invaluable resource for both health professionals and general readers interested in the intersection of public health and social justice.

Threshold - How Smart Homes...

Heather Suzanne Woods

Smart homes are here—domestic spaces bristling with networked technologies that appear to enhance work, entertainment, logistics, health, and security. But these technologies may also extract a cost in attention, money, and privacy. In Threshold, communication and technology expert Heather Suzanne Woods applies rhetorical theory to answer the urgent question of how swiftly proliferating smart homes alter those who inhabit them. 
 
 
 
Building on research into smart homes in the United States, Woods recounts how smart homes arose and predicts the trajectory of their future form. She pulls back the curtain on the technology, probes who is in control, and questions whether a home can be too smart. 
 
 
 
Woods suggests a dynamic cultural framework for understanding smart homes that takes into account sociotechnical variables through which smart homes shape human life. Woods's framework reveals how smart homes both reflect social norms about technology as well as whet consumer appetites. 
 
 
 
Written for homeowners, policymakers, technology enthusiasts, and scholars, Threshold interweaves critical analysis with matter-of-fact graphics that map relationships between digital tools and social life.
