In this episode of Narrative Practices: Discourse in Action, Dr. Tista Ghosh joins Tony Errichetti, PhD, to explore how public health messaging and misinformation shaped our pandemic experience, and what storytelling can do to rebuild trust. Dr. Ghosh, an epidemiologist, physician, and author of Before the Next Crisis, shares stories from healthcare and frontline workers whose experiences reveal how politics, communication failures, and “pandemic amnesia” left the public divided. The conversation explores:
- Why evolving science was mistaken for dishonesty
- How politics shaped health messaging • New models to depoliticize public health
- The rise of narrative public health and digital storytelling • How experts can earn back trust through transparency
