果冻影院

This symposium brings together social science, humanities and medical scholars working critically on global health across 果冻影院. There is a wealth of critical global health scholarship at 果冻影院, both within and outside traditional 鈥榟ealth鈥� disciplines. In this IAS-hosted/hybrid event, we hope to facilitate interdisciplinary conversations between emerging and established researchers, continuing conversations begun in our earlier podcast series and (entitled 鈥淲hat is Critical Global Health?鈥�).听This symposium will offer a supportive environment for emerging scholars at all levels, from MA/MSc to PhD and post-doctoral researchers.

To this end, we invite postgraduates and early-career scholars from across the university to submit proposals for presentations which critically consider the empirical, theoretical and/or practical dimensions of global health. These might address, for example: critical genealogies of health and ill-health; historical and colonial aspects of health and health inequities; discursive framings of health; critical geopolitics or economics of health; intersections between health and other social, infrastructural or environmental issues; ethical and practical dimensions of critical health research and collaboration; critical health research methods and positionality; and/or the role of institutions and researchers in perpetuating or alleviating global health inequities. We welcome research focused on the global South, global North or any combination thereof.

Alongside PGR and ECR presentations, this event features two keynote speakers:

Dr Chisomo Kalinga (Chancellor鈥檚 Fellow, University of Edinburgh) will critically examine the role of health humanities in Africa.

Dr Jean Segata (Associate Professor, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul) will discuss the 鈥渦nhealthy ecologies鈥� linking animal agribusiness and COVID-19 in Brazil.

The event will close with an interdisciplinary roundtable reflecting on the day鈥檚 discussion.

This symposium will be held in the Institute of Advanced Studies鈥� Common Ground. There will be full catering for those attending in person, including outdoor lunch and drinks reception.

In the interest of accessibility and inclusion, this event will be fully hybrid, with virtual attendance open to all. For the in-person component, masks will be recommended (and provided).
