The Critical Global Health Seminar Series is an interdisciplinary forum to interrogate the complex set of political, economic, social, and ecological forces that are driving patterns of sickness and health and responses to them. Each speaker will present a paper that is a work in progress. The papers will be circulated electronically to Seminar participants in advance of the session.
