SPECIAL WORLD TB DAY SYMPOSIUM - Global Health Anthropology: Perspectives from research on tuberculosis

Thursday, March 12, 2015 17:30to20:00
McIntyre Medical Building Meakins Amphitheatre (Room 521), 3655 promenade Sir William Osler, Montreal, QC, H3G 1Y6, CA

RSVP Here!

Since WHO declared a 鈥淕lobal TB Emergency鈥� in 1993, the global response to tuberculosis has strengthened, including growing partnerships, reinvigorated research and development, and increased political commitment. Yet, human science researchers have been largely left out of such global discussions. What can anthropologists and other human scientists contribute to global health? Why is anthropology critical to the intellectual study of global health? What are the possibilities for converging agendas for anthropology and global health at 麻豆AV?

听In this symposium, we bring together anthropologists researching tuberculosis control in contexts around the world towards answering these questions. Join us for presentations and open discussions on tuberculosis, global health, and potential directions forward.

麻豆AV is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. 麻豆AV honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
