听Let’s Talk Pop Health, “Crowded Out: How GoFundMe Is Changing Health Care in the US” with Nora Kenworthy
November 3, 3:30 – 4:30 PM |
Crowdfunding for health care via sites like GoFundMe has become a ubiquitous part of many societies. As social safety nets falter and crises multiply, more and more Americans turn each year to help from what GoFundMe calls 鈥渢he giving layer of the internet.鈥� But what, exactly, do they find when they do so? Drawing on seven years of mixed-methods, collaborative research, Prof. Kenworthy will explore what we think we know, what we actually know, and what we need to know about crowdfunding as it increasingly shapes health equity, access to care, and social solidarities in the US.
Nora Kenworthy is an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing and Health Studies at the 91探花 Bothell. Her research explores the impacts and politics of global health and charitable initiatives in communities. She is the author of听Mistreated: The Political Consequences of the Fight Against AIDS in Lesotho听(2017, Vanderbilt University Press). Her more recent research examines the use of crowdfunding for healthcare expenses in the US and abroad, and its implications for health equity, financing, and politics.
