WagTalks: Presidential Policy — U.S. Development and Global Health Assistance with John Gershman
Here at NYU’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, we are fortunate to have an esteemed faculty of experts whose knowledge spans timely and relevant topics across public service focus areas. As we all seek to navigate the policies of the new federal administration, our faculty will offer regular WagTalks on presidential policy—brief video explainers focusing on the Trump administration’s approach to a particular policy area and the subsequent impacts.
This week, Clinical Professor of Public Service John Gershman discusses U.S. development and global health assistance under the Trump administration, exploring the impacts one year after the shutdown of USAID.
