Integrative session (NEW): "Latin American Social Medicine And The Quest For Social Justice & Public Health: Linking History, Data, And Pedagogy" |
|
| Based on discussion at the Spirit of 1848 business meeting at the 2001 APHA conference, we have decided that the focus of our first "integrative" oral session will be on "Latin American Social Medicine and the quest for social justice & public health: linking history, data, and pedagogy". Simultaneously a set of theoretical frameworks and methods for research and a movement explicitly connecting issues of social justice and public health, the varied strands of Latin American social medicine provide important insights into societal determinants of health and the kinds of social transformation necessary for achieving social equity in health. The session accordingly will include:
(1) a presentation providing an overview of the social history of social medicine in Latin America;
(2) a talk presenting, as a case example, hypotheses & findings of a study (or perhaps studies) premised on a theoretical perspective encompassed in Latin American social medicine;
(3) a presentation describing, as a case example, a course (or perhaps a few courses) that teaches students about the ideas and methods of social medicine in Latin America
(4) a discussant from a different region of the world reflecting on which aspects of Latin American social medicine are germane to the public health realities with which they contend.
All presentations for this session will be solicited. No unsolicited abstracts will be reviewed.
This session will be in the Monday morning 10:30 am to 12 noon APHA time slot. |
| Learning Objectives: "At the conclusion of the session, the participant in this session will be able to:
1.List key concepts employed in Latin American social epidemiology
2. Describe examples of empirical public health research guided by Latin American social medicine frameworks
3. Describe approaches to teaching about public health developed using Latin American social medicine frameworks |
