HGEI is very excited to have Dr. Paul Farmer join us today for the special launch of our new Seminar Series.
The Harvard Global Equity Initiative, together with Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School, and the Mahindra Humanities Center, is pleased to present an innovative Seminar Series entitled ‘Living and Learning: From Personal Experience to Global Health.’ This monthly series presents highly acclaimed professionals who courageously speak about their personal health challenges and how these have informed their work and influenced their perspective. Each month, an invited speaker or member of the Faculty will speak on their experience having lived through, currently living with, or caring for a loved one suffering through a non-communicable or chronic disease. Firsthand discussion of real life examples makes them “come alive” for students and colleagues, which aids in understanding the interconnection between the personal and the professional and in examining how personal experience shapes the work of health professionals, guiding them to incorporate introspectiveness in analysis.
Where: HSPH, G-13
When: 4:30-6:30 pm, reception following — at Harvard School of Public Health.
