The Spring 2008 ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Institute for Global Health Symposia series begins on 12 February 2008.

The first symposium, 'Global Health: What's justice got to do with it?', will explore some of the questions of justice and morality underlying the global-health agenda.

It will take the form of a brief presentation by Professor Jonathan Wolff (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Philosophy), setting out some key questions, arguments and themes. This will be followed by a creative and entertaining discussion - moderated by Professor Anthony Costello (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Centre for International Health & Development) - in which attendees will be encouraged to voice their views.

Panel members will be Professor Deenan Pillay (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Infection & Immunity), Colm O'Cinneide (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Laws) and Craig Patterson, Chief Executive Officer of the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Institute for Global Health.

This new series of challenging and stimulating multidisciplinary global-health symposia aims to encourage you to learn more about, and get involved in, the new ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Institute for Global Health.

The underlying philosophy of our work is that the solutions to achieving sustained long-term health improvement reside equally in all ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº disciplines, from the arts and humanities, built environment, engineering and law, to basic and applied biomedical sciences.

We need your involvement, your energy and your disciplines' intellectual capital to make a difference.

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº staff and students, policymakers and members of the broader community are welcome, 4.30-6pm, 12 February 2008, in the JZ Young Lecture Theatre, Anatomy Building, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº.

The subsequent Spring 2008 symposia will be:

• 11 March 2008 - 'Land Evictions in Mumbai'
• 15 April 2008 - 'HIV/AIDS: Where next without a magic bullet?'
• 13 May 2008 - 'Global Health Governance - Who is accountable to whom?'
