Colloque sur la santé mondiale à l'Acfas: "Contributions des approches anthroposociales au champ interdisciplinaire et intersectoriel de la recherche en santé mondiale"

Date: 10 May 2011

Un colloque sur la recherche en santé mondiale aura lieu à l’occasion du 79e congrès de l’Acfas. Le but de ce colloque est d’offrir un espace de rencontre et de dialogue aux chercheurs, étudiants, praticiens et futurs leaders en santé mondiale à propos des contributions des approches anthroposociales au champ de la recherche en santé mondiale.
La nature transdisciplinaire et intersectorielle de ce colloque vise la conciliation de théories, de méthodes et de pratiques de la recherche en santé mondiale procédant de plusieurs courants de pensée contemporains fort éloignés du point vue épistémologique, mais potentiellement complémentaires. Cette confluence d’approches permettra de renforcer des interactions dynamiques entre les participants au colloque tout en permettant notamment de mettre en oeuvre une démarche dialectique entre les perspectives universaliste (qui prône l’unicité des exigences et l’équivalence fonctionnelle des concepts) et culturaliste (qui préconise l’élaboration d’une culture commune et la spécificité des réalités observées) de la recherche en santé mondiale

Environmental Health and Equity: Global Strategies and Innovation

Date: 30 April 2011

Poor and marginalized populations in both high and low income countries are disproportionately exposed to environmental health hazards and their health consequences. It is crucial that we find economically viable solutions to reduce these inequities and promote a healthier more sustainable environment for all. Join us and an international group of leading practice, policy and academic experts to discuss innovative and effective strategies. Together we will examine the crucial questions of how to: design policies and programs that promote environmental health and equity in low, middle and high income countries; and how to improve environmental sustainability while promoting economic growth and poverty reduction.

The following issues will be discussed: the economic crisis, the movement of people (forced migration and refugees), armed combat, climate change, pandemics and transparency and governance. These issues will be highlighted in terms of their relationship to the global health crises and the need to integrate health into these various sector responses.
