Why Health Inclusion Matters: From Research to Practice

Sponsored by:
Anthropology
David Napier and his colleagues at the University College London are developing health inclusivity indicators that improve our analysis of the social determinants of health. Some 40 countries are being assessed, 20% of which deny care to stigmatized groups. Judging from research thus far, low-income countries which lack the resources for universal health coverage often do better at the level of community engagement and inclusion than higher-income countries.

Patricia Sadarriaga Reading

Please join us for a reading from Professor Saldarriaga’s new book Infected Empires: Decolonizing Zombies, which examines a central figure in contemporary apocalyptic film: the zombie. This creature reveals bloody truths about the human condition, the wounds of history, and methods of contending with them. Studying films from a transnational perspective, Infected Empires presents a vision of a global zombie that resists oppressive structures that racialize, marginalize, disable, and dispose of bodies.
