Amy Lauren Fairchild is an American historian who is a professor at Syracuse University. She is co-director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Bioethics.
Early life and education
Fairchild was an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Austin.[1] She graduated in 1990, before moving to Columbia University to complete a master's degree in public health.[citation needed] She remained at Columbia for her graduate studies, where she investigates the health of migrants.[2]
Research and career
Fairchild works on public health ethics and policy. After completing her doctoral degree, she was appointed to the faculty of Columbia University.[3] She studied the social forces that impact health inspection of migrants and disease surveillance and privacy.[3] In particular, she was interested in the interplay between surveillance and public health policy.[4] She was responsible for delivering the Department of Public Health history and policy course.[5] She looked at the impacts of fear-based public health campaigns, such as Michael Bloomberg's efforts on tobacco use, obesity and HIV.[6] She argued that banning e-cigarette sales and vaping would have negative impacts on people's health.[7][8]
After twenty years at Columbia, Fairchild returned to Texas A&M University, where she served as Associate Dean and Vice President for Faculty Affairs. She joined Ohio State University as a professor in the College of Public Health in 2019.[9] Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Fairchild was responsible for monitoring health on campus and providing public health advice to the people of Ohio.[10][11][12] She called for a national mask mandate to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease.[13]
