Global Health Governance Summit: Food Security
January 8-9, 2011
University of California,
San Francisco School of Medicine
The challenges this generation faces in addressing global health inequities are more complex than ever before. The number of the players that govern global health has matched this growth- no longer does the World Health Organization handle the enormous task of coordinating all efforts surrounding health improvement. Creating a framework to understand the complexity of global health players is a key component to the education of future leaders who seek to address these issues. Scholars have created a new discipline, Global Health Governance, that seeks to address these issues. The inaugural Global Health Governance Summit is a groundbreaking initiative to help students learn about this emerging field through active participation in discussions groups, simulation, and interaction with experts in the field.Sponsored by the American Medical Student Association. If you are a member, APPLY HERE
Apply here if you are a Bay Area local:
Application Deadline: Friday, November 12, 2010
Are you a student passionate about tackling global health inequities?Want to learn more about global health governance, activism, and policy?Join us in San Francisco!This year our focus is global health governance. We will put theory into practice with a live, participatory simulation.
The Global Health Leadership Institute (GHLI) brings together a select group of students interested in global health (including but not limited to medical, premedical, public health, business/economics, law, and policy students) for a weekend of expert-led discussions and workshops to learn how to address some of the most pressing global health issues and challenges facing our generation.Through the lens global health governance, we will explore the interface between multiple policy sectors—trade, development, environment, and security—and how they interact to influence multilevel coordination and decision-making. The institute will culminate in an interactive simulation of a real-world response to a global health crisis.Unprecedented investment in global health during the past decade has led to more actors and increasingly complex relationships between them. The challenges confronting global health leaders in the coming decade will require a sophisticated understanding of global governance and policymaking.Sessions will include: Defining Global Health Governance, Role of Human Rights in Health Diplomacy, Soft and Hard Policy Making in Global Health, Global Health Player Analysis, presentations by participants, and strategy sessions with experts in the field.Learning Objectives
Selected applicants will· Identify key players involved in global health governance including multi-lateral organizations, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, faith-based groups, aid organizations, and universities/academia· Understand the specialized role and capacity of a specific global health player and use this knowledge to participate in a live simulation of an international response to a global health crisis· Develop public speaking, advocacy, and leadership skills, with opportunities for continued leadership and participation in national AMSA campaigns and programmingThis comprehensive institute is designed to develop skills that are useful in qualitative and mixed methods research, including:
* one-on-one interviewing
* focus groups
* participant observation
* field notes
* IRB issues unique to qualitative research
* use and application of NVivo software
All scientists, philosophers, medical doctors, theologians, clerical, seminary and university lecturers holding various scientific knowledge and expertise, students and those involved in the discipline and practice of human and religious sciences, in particular the various fields of ethics, are cordially invited to present their articles or simply attend the congress and in doing so, help to enrich the scientific value of this congress.
Abstract submission deadline is extended to 18 Dec. 2010
Registration deadline without abstract is extended to 22 Dec. 2010

On January 12th 2010 at 4:53pm local time, Haiti was struck by a catastrophic earthquake that left Port au Prince and surrounding areas in ruins. The Haitian government reported that an estimated 230,000 people died, 300,000 were injured and 1,000,000 were made homeless.
This event will explore the immediate and ongoing needs in Haiti, including the current cholera crisis, and discuss what people can do in 2011 and beyond to assist in the country’s re-building process. Non-governmental organizational efforts will be highlighted as well as the work of Penn schools and students.

“Development and the Production of Confusion in Santiago Atitlan”
An ethnographic study of municipal interventions
into women's lake washing practice
Presented by Sascha Murillo
(Candidate for B.A. in Anthropology and Biology)
In recent years the municipal government of Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala, has come to make “development” a priority. Of particular importance to the municipality has been environmental conservation and sustainability, specifically with regards to deteriorating condition of Lake Atitlan.
To achieve this goal, the mayor of Santiago Atitlan has jumpstarted several programs such as trash removal and lake area clean ups to address the imminent danger posed to the lake and to the health of Santiago’s residents. A particularly interesting program has targeted laundry washing in the lake as an area for improvement. The mayor is currently overseeing the building of pilas, or laundry washing facilities, towards the eventual goal of deterring women from washing in the lake. The municipal government believes that the pila program will protect the women from the cyanobacteria toxins as well as prevent further contamination of the lake by the women washers. In early 2010, the first pila was constructed in a park in the municipal district of Pachichaj and the construction of a pila in the district of Xechivoy is currently underway.
In the summer of 2010 I traveled to Santiago Atitlan to conduct an ethnographic study of the women washers and the pila project. I have found that the pila project has been a source of conflict, but more importantly confusion. I will explore how this confusion has been produced and what this reveals about the development process in Santiago Atitlan and the relationship between the women washers and their governing bodies. This seminar will serve as a presentation of my research and data as well as my thesis work-in-progress.
