As part of the lead-up to the 2026 Cincinnati Conference, we’re excited to revive our online conversation series featuring authors of recent and forthcoming books. These sessions will offer scholars the opportunity to discuss their newest research and give the SACRPH community a lively and insightful preview of the work shaping the field.
