Samet, M.D., M.S., director of the USC Institute for Global Health, professor and Flora L. Thornton Chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine For many women around the globe, health has become the central intersection of the personal and the political; women’s bodies are the arena for policy debates about population, poverty, reproduction and morality. How do the laws and policies of a nation-state affect women’s health? Is the state invested in these issues because women are seen to be bearers and nurturers of future citizens? Or are there are other concerns — such as economic development, human welfare or religious ideology — that shape this engagement? What are the current and historical responsibilities of the state in addressing women’s health issues? How can they be measured and improved upon, and how do we approach the underlying ethical issues in practical and useful ways for women around the globe? Panels: --“Global Norms and International Agreements on Women’s Health” --“State Policies and Women’s Health” --“Economic Empowerment, Development Programs and Women’s Health” --“Medical and Social Advances in Women’s Health” --“Gendered Consequence of Violence and War on Women’s Health” --“Global Medicine, Global Norms, State Policies” 04.02.2010 - 04.03.2010 Location: SOS B-40 Topic: Transpacific Studies Conference: Homelands, Diasporas and the Movement of Populations This conference brings together U.S., Asian, and European scholars to examine the phenomenon of Transpacific displacement. Organized by the Center for Transpacific Studies at USC, this conference advances a new kind of research paradigm, a dynamic model that goes beyond conventional area and American studies models. Transpacific Studies shifts the focus from an anchored, traditional view of area studies to one more attuned to the great movements of people, resources and materials over the past century. Transpacific Studies focuses on the diasporic and blended identities of people who cross the Pacific, including not only immigrants but dual citizens, “flexible” citizens, refugees, and exiles, all of whom are accompanied by the transnational movement of ideas, languages, and cultural expressions as well as forms of social and economic capital. The conference organizers, Janet Hoskins and Viet Thanh Nguyen, decided on a nontraditional format for the conference. Instead of one keynote speaker, they have invited seven, recognizing the national and international reputations of these speakers, most of whom are coming great distances to attend. The keynote speakers will give full papers and answer questions. The panelists will have their papers available in advance (see links below) and will summarize their papers briefly, followed by a response from a keynote speaker and an audience discussion. The conference is funded with additional support from Asian American Studies and the Center for International Studies. For attendees not speaking at the conference, please RSVP to Huong Ninh for attendance and for breakfast and lunch (ninh@usc.edu).
