Dear Colleagues,
A reminder to submit abstracts and closed panel proposals to the conference on public health and publics:
Third International Conference
Social Sciences & Health Innovations:
Making Health Public
May 22-24, 2017, Tomsk, Russia
The goals of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health have long been the locus of efforts by states, cities and other actors in the public health field. But what exactly does the 'public' stand for in public health? Public refers to collectives and solidarities on a local, national and global scale; how are they made, maintained and legitimized amidst diversity of the globalizing world? Public also refers to the responsibilities of public institutions for health, and engagement of these institutions with people's concerns. However, during the last decades it has become clear that there are often big gaps between institutional perspectives and the perspectives of communities and citizens on health and ways to improve it. One often wonders, where the publics of public health are.
This conference aims to explore how health is, and can be, made public.
Conference speakers:
· Tiago Moreira (Reader at School of Applied Social Sciences, Durham University)
· Martine Bouman (Scientific Director of the Center for Media & Health and Prof. Entertainment Media and Social Change, Erasmus University Rotterdam)
· Vikram Patel (Professor of International Mental Health and Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow in Clinical Science, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine; the Pershing Square Professor of Global Health, Harvard University) - to be confirmed
· Susanne Bauer (Associate Professor at the Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture, University of Oslo)
· Klasien Horstman (Professor of Philosophy of Public Health, Maastricht University)
