On November 19, 2024, The Greenwall Foundation and New York University’s School of Global Public Health will host this year’s William C. Stubing Memorial Lecture in person in New York City and online. Beth Macy, bestselling author of Dopesick and Raising Lazarus: Hope, Justice, and the Future of America’s Overdose Crisis, will discuss the US opioid epidemic and the ethical issues that accompany it, including how we can move forward from the crisis and rebuild affected communities. Ms. Macy will be joined in conversation by Perri Peltz, a journalist, public health advocate, and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker known for the HBO documentary Warning: This Drug May Kill You, which explores the devastating effects of opioid addiction and its relationship to big pharma.
The event will begin with a reception at 5:30pm ET, followed by the moderated conversation beginning at 6:30pm ET. An audience question-and-answer session will follow. Registration is free and open to all, but in-person seating is limited.
