The book provides both empirical examples and the conceptual tools for rethinking the role of public health in society, challenging the familiar biomedicalized and individualized discourse that has dominated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Divided into nine chapters, it covers key topics such as complex systems of health determinants, evidence-making in public health, and the role of corporate actors and philanthropists. Reframing the field through local and global political lenses, New Directions in Critical Public Health: Health in Turbulent Times also integrates interdisciplinary perspectives to provide a truly holistic overview of this rapidly evolving area.
