A Podcast Analysis of the Current and Future Health Impact of Russia’s War on Ukraine

Olivia Hallisey’s capstone project analyzed the harmful health impacts of the current war in Ukraine. Inspired by Professor Paul Wise’s paper "The Epidemiological Challenge to the Conduct of Just War: Confronting Indirect Civilian Causalities of War", Olivia employed a critical mindset to research populational health disruptions, empirically breakdown the long-lasting effects of the war in Ukraine, and measure how intensely the war will affect Ukrainian communities. She created a podcast series where she interviewed Stanford community members, such as Paul Wise, Catarina Buchataskiy, and H.R. McMaster, aiding in Ukrainian relief efforts. She also hopes to recommend a strategy to Ukraine’s allies, global human rights organizations, and international peace bodies on ways of administering direct aid to combat detrimental health impacts.
