HEN Seminar: Human rights, equity and health
The programme and attendance list for next Friday's HEN seminar is below. The seminar will take place in room D202. A map of the LSE can be found at: http://www.lse.ac.uk/School/maps/map3.htm - Room D202 is on the second floor of Clement House on Aldwych. Lunch will be provided in room D402 (on the fourth floor of the same building).
I think there is some planned industrial action on some rail networks for next Friday. Nonetheless, the seminar will definitely take place.
Kind regards
