Medical Anthropology Research Center (MARC)
VI Colloquium
Anthropology and Global Health in times of COVID
12 and 13 of May 2022
Organizer: Medical Anthropology Research Center
The Medical Anthropology Research Center (MARC) at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) convenes its 6th Colloquium with the aim of reflecting on the impact generated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the new (and not so new) challenges in health care, the organisation of health and social-health services, public policies, social responses, social participation in health, the role of care and the governance of global threats. Undoubtedly, these challenges force us to engage in a dialogue between anthropological knowledge and global health paradigms which, from a critical viewpoint, will allow us to work collectively and interdisciplinarily for the right to health for all in a post-COVID society.
The colloquium will be presented by healthcare sector professionals and researchers in the fields of epidemiological, social medicine, sociological, anthropology and medical anthropology, and queer pedagogy, among others. There will be two main conferences and four round tables that will respectively discuss the vision of health professionals, attention and care, the role of social medicine and the ethical and social challenges (see attached programme). We encourage you to attend and participate.
