Webinar: Confronting an epidemic: Religious community responses to EbolaHow religious communities can be more effective in their response
Widespread hysteria and misinformation dominate the conversation about Ebola. Dr. Marshall and Ms. Miller will address the topic with reasoned and factual information. As former Country Director of the World Bank’s Africa Region and a specialist in conflict resolution, Ms. Marshall offers an expert’s perspective on the U.S.’s role in confronting Ebola. Ms. Miller will discuss the United Methodist Church’s medical missionary work on the front lines in West Africa.
After a long career in the development field, including several leadership positions at the World Bank, Marshall moved to Georgetown in 2006, where she also serves as a visiting professor in the School of Foreign Service. She helped to create and now serves as the executive director of the World Faiths Development Dialogue.
She has been adjunct faculty for Pace University's Graduate Department of Publishing and the Fashion Institute of Technology in Communications Design. She has won several awards from both the United Methodist Association of Communications and the Religious Communicators Council.
