SPECIAL WORLD TB DAY SYMPOSIUM - Global Health Anthropology: Perspectives from research on tuberculosis
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 平特五不中?
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.
