Fall 2006
Special Seminar Series
Current and Historical Issues in Occupational Health and Air Pollution

The UCLA Center for Occupational and Environmental Health has developed a special seminar series for the fall quarter, 2006 to illustrate important topical and historical issues in occupational health and air pollution control. The series will have two primary themes:

What insights can we gain by learning about societal problems of occupational and environmental health from a historical perspective?
What are examples of topical and vital issues in occupational and environmental health where historical precedent would better inform public policy?

Some of our speakers are experts in the history of occupational health and air pollution control and they will provide relevant insights to the current state of affairs from their historical perspective. Other speakers are more actively engaged in current topical issues that are affecting the workplace, environment and public health. This combination of expertise will provide for exciting and important seminars that will enhance our understanding of current controversies and issues in occupational and environmental health.

The Seminar Series will be held on UCLA campus every Thursday beginning October 5, 2006 from 12 to 1 P.M. in 13-105 CHS lecture hall from 1 to 2 P.M. at the Dean’s Conference Room, CHS 16-059, 650 Charles E. Young Drive, South. The first hour is reserved for the talk and the second for a “Question and Answer” session followed by a reception.
