Day School on Critical Issues in Gender and Global Health

Global Women’s Studies is please to announce Day School on Critical Issues in Gender and Global Health. This course considers current global health crises created by the worldwide drive to privatize healthcare, the rise of disease pandemics, particularly HIV/AIDS, as well as other complex emergencies. Students consider the deeply gendered dynamics and impacts as well as the human rights dimensions of such crises, and explore the interconnections between sex, biology and gender for women’s health status, including their reproductive rights. Different ’solutions’ available vis-à-vis policy frameworks, human rights standards, and cultural practice and the roles therein of public, private and civil society actors, locally and globally, will also be discussed.

The course will be delivered through 3 Day Schools: 25 February, 3 March and 24 March 2012.

The course is limited to 20 participants. Interested individuals should write to Gillian Browne at gillian.brownenuigalway.ie to book a place in the course.
