Event

On October 23rd, WHYY's Maiken Scott will lead a conversation with MSF’s Executive Director in the United States, Sophie Delaunay, and three academic experts who have dedicated years to studying the organization. They will explore MSF’s history and development and tackle questions such as, how has MSF worked to stay flexible, reactive, and effective as it expanded through the years? How does it stay prepared to respond to emergencies wherever they occur? And are its core tenets of independence, neutrality, and impartiality viable at a time when the risks seem ever more extreme, particularly in places where protections once afforded to aid workers are eroding?

Panelists include:
Sophie Delaunay, Executive Director, Doctors Without Borders-USA
Renée C. Fox, Annenberg Professor Emerita of the Social Sciences, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Doctors Without Borders: Humanitarian Quests, Impossible Dreams of Médecins Sans Frontières
Laurence Binet, Director of Studies, Fondation MSF, and author of MSF's Speaking Out Case Studies series
Peter Redfield, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, and author of Life in Crisis: The Ethical Journey of Doctors Without Borders
