WORKSHOP INVITATION
We are two PhD students at UCL running a podcast project about neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) called 'Challenging Neglect', see: www.challengingneglect.com<http://www.challengingneglect.com/>
As part of this project we are posting our podcasts online, writing a regular blog and organising discussions relating to the topic. One of our podcast interviewees is visiting London and we are arranging a workshop with him. Dr Peter Hotez is director of the Sabin Vaccine Institute and has been instrumental in developing the term NTDs as well as promoting policy intervention. The discussion will largely be based around one of his papers: http://www.plosntds.org/article/citationList.action?articleURI=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pntd.0002570<http://www.plosntds.org/article/citationList.action?articleURI=info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002570> with responses from a panel including Dr Alan Fenwick, Professor of Tropical Parasitology at Imperial and director of the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI).
What: Workshop 'Challenging Neglect: Perspectives on Neglected Tropical Diseases'
When: 11th September, 4.30 - 6pm (followed by drinks reception)
Who: Dr Peter Hotez (Sabin Vaccine Institute), Panel: Dr Alan Fenwick (Imperial, SCI) - more to be confirmed, Chair: Dr Jack Stilgoe (UCL)
Where: Chandler B02, Chandler House, 2 Wakefield Street, UCL, London, WC1N 1PF
Why attend?: This will be of interest for those in the area of medical sociology, public health, medicine and policy. However we are aiming for a cross-disciplinary discussion and would benefit from a mixed audience.
