Pardee Center Completes Fall 2024 Global Health Politics Workshop Speaker Series

The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future recently concluded the fifth semester of its Global Health Politics Workshop (GHPW) speaker series.

The four-part Fall 2024 series included talks about the unprecedented influence on global public health wielded by the Gates Foundation; the links between state investment in public health and health service provision in Malawi; the challenges of rural precarity and health governance among immigrants in the US; and the “epidemic of uncertainty” around individuals’ HIV status in Malawi. The monthly series, which has included 20 talks to date, will continue in the spring. Previous talks are available to watch on the Pardee Center’s YouTube channel.

The series is part of a project convened by Pardee Center Faculty Associate Prof. Joseph Harris with the goal of bringing together leading social scientists from the disciplines of anthropology, political science, and sociology, along with practitioners in Boston and around the world, to advance the understanding of health phenomena in a globally interconnected world.
