Benjamin Mason Meier, a professor of global health policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, contributed to two academic commentaries on the election. One, for Cambridge University Press, laid out the stakes of the election for his field; the other, for The Lancet Regional Health, made comparisons between the two candidates. Rather than compiling information comparing the two candidates, his goal was to “develop non-partisan teaching resources that could support classroom discussions on the global health impacts of this coming election,” he said.
