The CGHE Perspectives on Health Equity seminar series is an interdisciplinary forum for socially engaged research on health and medicine. The seminar series will bring together NYU Shanghai faculty and graduate students, as well as colleagues from other institutions, serving as a forum for intellectual exchange and for community building. We welcome presentations that investigate the social contexts of health and healing from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Speakers can present original research, receive feedback on ongoing projects, organize panel discussions, or propose other formats for the seminar.
The seminar series is intended to support both our community and our own research, and we welcome presentations on topics that you are now thinking and writing about. These informal seminars are opportunities to learn about each other's research, to receive feedback on current projects, and to spark productive conversations.
If you are interested in giving a talk or inviting a speaker, please contact Amir Hampel at amir.hampel@nyu.edu
