Please join us at our last brown-bag meeting of the quarter on Tuesday, Nov 27, 12:30-1:30pm in Derby 3116. Our theme is international health communication. School of Communication alum Emily Burkhart and faculty members Tony Roberto and Janice Raup-Krieger will be presenting on their experiences working on health issues abroad.
Emily will talk about her trip this past summer to Uganda, where she visited many sites (from public/private hospitals, clinics, and NGO offices), interviewed health professionals, and gained insight on a variety of issues. Janice and Tony will be presenting on the initial stages of a research project they are conducting in Bangladesh in collaboration with the International Breast Cancer Foundation (IBCRF). The project will develop a culturally appropriate intervention to increase awareness among Bangladeshi women and their families of free, walk-in breast problem clinics that have been developed by the IBCRF and Amader Gram (a non-profit organization focused on social issues in rural Bangladesh).
Hope to see you there!
