GLOBAL HEALTH POST-2020

Throughout 2020, issues related to health equity have been brought to the foreground. While Global Health as a discipline has long been concerned with the social determinants of health and health inequities, it is also criticized for reproducing inequitable relations through neo-colonial practices. Major events of 2020 (including the global COVID-19 pandemic; global anti-racism movements; record wildfire season) present an opportunity to think differently about Global Health and move toward more equitable health futures. 

Here are upcoming presentations by GoHelp lab students:

Rodrigo Curty will be presenting at Symposium of Research in International Relations, organized by the State University of Rio de Janeiro and he will be presenting on:China in Latin America and the Caribbean: Overcoming dependency or promoting new forms of dominance.

In spite of all the challenges the Covid-19 pandemic triggered over the last several months, two of the welcome gifts it also afforded me has been 1) time to reflect and 2) the ability to continue with my studies in an atypical way. My experience as a graduate student in the School of Planning had already unceasingly tested my motivation and self-direction but working as a Research Assistant (RA) and powering through electives over the Spring term helped me recognize how important it is to foster supportive relationships and prioritize your own wellbeing during uncertain times.

Susan Elliott's co-authored abstract, titled "Economic Evaluation of Damage Accrual in a Nationwide Canadian SLE Cohort", will be presented at the 2017 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Annual Meeting on November 7th, in San Diego CA.
