The 31st World Affairs Seminar will be held June 16-22, 2007 at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
The very timely theme is:
“GLOBAL HEALTH PRESCRIPTION FOR SURVIVAL - WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?”
We live in an interdependent world. We trade. We travel. We watch “the news”. It’s all good. Right?
But what are the consequences of globalization for the way we think about our health – inside our political institutions, in light of our economic models and plans, hemmed in by national healthcare systems, dealing with our own national and even individual health issues, aware of the dangers of infectious disease, hearing rumors of global pandemics, wide-eyed at the ravages of African AIDS?
What are the most important trends and patterns? Which institutions are engaged in the global conversation? What have we learned, and what work remains? This week will take us well beyond “the bird flu”. Come gather around the table with leaders from the front lines.
We’re going to talk. It’s going to be great. We need you!
