Nora Kenworthy
Nora Kenworthy, PhD, is a writer, professor, and public health scholar.
Her work explores how technology, politics, and charity impact health.
Crowded Out offers an eye-opening investigation into charitable crowdfunding for health care in the United States—and the consequences of allowing health care access to be decided by the digital crowd.Although crowdfunding has become ubiquitous in our lives, it is often misunderstood: rather than a friendly free market “powered by the kindness” of strangers, crowdfunding is powerfully reinforcing inequalities and changing the way Americans think about and access healthcare. Drawing on extensive research and rich storytelling, Crowded Out offers a unique and distressing look beneath the surface of some of the most popular charitable platforms, and the acute inequities users face there. Through these stories, Kenworthy seeks to foster thoughtful discussions of how we can better mobilize collective responses to healthcare crises.
