Seminars

Each academic term, the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy offers a graduate seminar course on a specific injury topic.

Students attend weekly seminars sponsored by the Center that advance one’s understanding of injury, violence, and resulting disability as public health problems. Seminar topics include methodological approaches, occupational injury, violence prevention, disability, and emerging topics, as well as the application of policy, law and practice for injury and violence prevention. Students hear from leading experts in the field and read literature provided to accompany each presentation
