Webinar: Exploring Features of Interactive Media to Influence Health Motivations and Perceptions
Wednesday, December 7th, 2022
01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Storrs Campus Webex
Presenter: Saraswathi Bellur, PhD
While it may seem evident that interactive media shape our health and well-being in profound ways, it is yet unclear on how or why they do so. This presentation will explore ways in which we can make use of unique features of new media, such as interactivity, to boost individuals’ intrinsic motivation, and thereby encourage them to engage in preventive health behaviors, promote good health, and collective well-being.

How Sandy Hook Changed the Legal Environment4:00pm
How Sandy Hook Changed the Legal Environment
Monday, December 12th, 2022
04:00 PM - 05:30 PM
Hartford Campus 145
On December 14, 2012, a gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary. Twenty six lives – those of children and educators - were taken that day. In the aftermath of that horrible day, there has been a shift in the legal environment. For example, many states changed their laws with an intended outcome of gun injury prevention. There have also been civil court decisions against Remington, the gun manufacturer that made the weapon used in Sandy Hook, and a successful defamation lawsuit against the founder of InfoWars, Alex Jones. Finally, recent action at the federal level also has implications for gun injury in America. Our panel will discuss how the legal environment has changed since Sandy Hook, and what these changes mean for gun violence in Connecticut and America.
The Panel Includes:
· Representative Matt Blumenthal - State Representative for the 147th District, serving Stamford and Darien. He serves as Vice-Chair of the Judiciary Committee. He was active in passing Connecticut’s ban on privately manufactured (“ghost”) guns and in passing legislation to ensure the safe storage of firearms. He is also a lead attorney representing the Sandy Hook families in the lawsuit against Alex Jones.
· Dr. Kevin Borrup - Executive Director of the Injury Prevention Center at Connecticut Children’s
· Dr. Manisha Juthani - Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Public Health. She is an associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine. She is also the Chair of Connecticut’s Commission on Community Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention.
· Jeremy Stein - Executive Director of CT Against Gun Violence (CAGV), whose mission is to end gun violence in Connecticut. Since taking the helm at CAGV in 2018, the organization has made history by passing six (6) gun safety laws in three years. He has served on Governor Lamont's transition team as well as the Biden-Harris Gun Violence Prevention Committee (1st 100 day team), where he chaired the suicide prevention subcommittee.
After introductory remarks, each panelist will be invited to make opening remarks for about 10 minutes. Panelists will have the opportunity to respond to fellow panelists’ remarks and then the panel will open for audience Q&A. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Kerri Raissian, UConn Associate Professor of Public Policy and ARMS Director. -
