President Scrimshaw will explore public health and the climate crisis in her lecture, a timely topic, given the pending flu season. A graduate of Barnard College in New York City, Scrimshaw obtained her M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology from Columbia University, where she was a student of the famous cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead. Prior to her post at Sage she served 12 years as the dean of the School of Public Health and professor of community health sciences and anthropology at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
