Professors Paul Farmer and Arthur Kleinman share a passion for teaching students how to tackle real-world problems.

Farmer will offer insights about how teaching and learning have responded to an international public health crisis and Kleinman will address how to use the practice of care to fight cynicism when it comes to addressing big problems.
