  Cameron Visiting Architect Lecturer, Thena Tak

  4:30 PM ET

  Sponsored by:

  History of Arts and Architecture

  This lecture will focus on architectural representations and their relationship to conceptual frameworks both within the architectural project and beyond to varying ontologies. The talk will consider the way in which architectural representations are not just embodiments of architectural knowledge, but also ways of seeing and being in the world. The deliberate questioning of what to represent and how to represent is a disciplinary responsibility that is companion to the act of world building.

  Svea Closser Lecture: Engaging Community Health Workers in Global Health Policymaking through Reality TV Competitions

  4:30 PM ET

  Sponsored by:

  President of the College, Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, Global Health Minor Program, and Anthropology

  Community Health Workers (CHWs), the majority of whom are women, are the bedrock of primary care provision across the world but are often employed at the bottom of health hierarchies where they have little voice. We developed a policymaking “Shark Tank” competition for female CHWs working on polio vaccination in Peshawar, Pakistan. Structured processes can allow the least powerful actors in global health structures to suggest innovations that work for them.
