Yes, welcome to PHR, Hope. Thank you for sharing your passion and story about how the human right to health came to be meaningful for you. I am at the University of Washington right now, and in the Global Health Pathway at the School of Medicine. I’m presenting a Journal Club this week that I would like to share with you and your PHR-minded blog readers. (bringin’ some of that urgency that you mention)

Wolfe, Daniel and Saucier, Roxanne. March 2009. “Introduction” in AT WHAT COST?: HIV AND HUMAN RIGHTS CONSEQUENCES OF THE GLOBAL “WAR ON DRUGS”, pp. 5-15, New York, NY: International Harm Reduction Development Program, Open Society Institute.

Hope folks take a look at this important generally missing piece in health and human rights work and structural violence.

Best, Sunil

Comment on Build a Human Rights Elective at your School by Annie

Annie — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 01:27:59 +0000

Danielle,

Thanks so much! I’ve been interested in taking a Health and Human Rights class for a while now but never thought of building on at my own school. I forwarded your link to my school’s Pre-Med advisor and have my fingers crossed that something will come of it. Thanks again!

P.S. You have two small typos one of your links “Berklely” and “Havard”.

Hey Danielle! The website looks great – lots of improvements since I last saw! Really looking forward to working more closely with you this year – I’m doing my MPH at Hopkins this year, so should have a little more time to work together hopefully. Hope you’ve been well!

Hi Rachel. I teach a course at Emerson College called “Women, Media & Globalization.” I’m writing to ask:
1) Will you be updating this page for this coming year?
2) Would you or someone else involved with students come to talk to the class about the work? We meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6, would be PERFECT!

Thanks. Melinda Robins, Assoc. Prof.
