Ebola, a viral disease now causing the largest听epidemic in its history, is such a topic. Ebola, which is fatal in about half of diagnosed cases, has struck multiple countries in West Africa.
During the last year, the Social Sciences Today Forum has focused on aging, 鈥渓anguage wars,鈥 inequality, immigration, natural disasters and 鈥渙utsourcing.鈥 This forum brings the knowledge and expertise of social science faculty to the greater community and allows the community to ask questions of leading scholars.
