SEMINAR SERIES - Vaccines in View

Andere

Incorporating pandemic public health, social inequalities, geopolitics, conspiracies and beyond, COVID-19 vaccines find themselves at the centre of the most significant debates of our time.

Anthropologists and social scientists have particularly important voices that need to be heard on this matter and are placed in the unique position of watching noteworthy global events unfold before us. As such, UCL Medical Anthropology invites you to engage with unfolding debates on vaccines and the pandemic through the 'Vaccines in View Seminar Series'.

The online series will run on zoom every Thursday from 5-6pm BST (GMT+1) over the summer term, featuring a different distinguished invited guest each week to discuss vaccines and vaccinations. Together, the series seeks to develop an anthropological overview of the vaccine question and seek to better bring the myriad issues that we face more clearly into view.

Title: Women's Status, Gender Relations and Health in Post-Genocide Rwanda.

Speaker: Dr Josephine Mukabera, Director at the Centre for Gender Studies, University of Rwanda

Chair: Dr Richard Kalisa, 5S Foundation/University of Rwanda

Description: After the 1994 genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda, the Government introduced gender equality programs in its development priorities to reduce gender-based inequalities and poverty. However, some people remain biased against the concept of women in positions of power. Dr Josephine Mukabera will discuss changes related to women's status and gender relations at the local level of Rwanda, as well as gender issues in relation to realizing the right to healthcare for persons with disabilities, including neglected tropical diseases.
