WHO Watch: Call for Participation

Call for Watchers to participate to the World Health Assembly in May 2019

PHM is preparing for watching the 72nd World Health Assembly (WHA-72) of
W.H.O taking place from 14th May to 28th May 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The World Health Assembly takes place once and Executive Board meeting
takes place twice a year. The items on the WHA72 agenda will probably
include Health emergencies, Implementation of International Health
Regulations (2005), Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework, Eradication
of polio & Polio Transition , Health, environment and climate change,Human
Resources for Health, Promoting the health of refugees and migrants,
Addressing Global shortage of, and access to, medicines and vaccines,
Public health, innovation and intellectual property, Progress towards
sustainable development goals, Eleventh revision of International
Classification of Diseases and Mechanism on substandard and falsified
medical products.

Can you attend the WHA72 Meeting?

Through Medicus Mundi International, watchers are able to attend the
meeting, distribute PHM?s commentary, advocate our position to country
delegates, and deliver statements from the floor to the meeting body. We
are looking for PHM activists to join as watchers in Geneva. If you are
keen in developing your knowledge on issues discussed at the meeting, and
to be involved in strengthening these issues in your country or region
after the meeting, please let us know. As the work is intense, being able
to work under some pressure and still provide support to your co-watchers
will be a great advantage. It is also important for the process if watchers
are there for the full period of the meetings, including a preparatory
workshop the week before the World Health Assembly. This means arrive on
Monday 13th May and depart on 28th May.

If you are interested in the politics of global health governance and
understanding the role that people?s movements can play in UN processes,
the preparatory workshop can be of interest for you. The Preparatory
Workshop will be held between the 14th to 18th May and can be attended as a
stand alone training workshop too.

If you are interested in possibly participating in WHA72 Watch please fill
in the form below. Please complete the form by 28th February 2019. If you
are able to attend only the Workshop indicate this in the form. ( please do
note that a small number of watchers ( 1 or 2) will be representing each
region/circle due to the team being small ( 8-10) ).

*Special issue of Critical Public Health*

*?Public health activism in changing times: Re-locating collective agency? *

*Call for abstracts, deadline 1 May 2019. *

https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/public-health-activism-in-changing-times-re-locating-collective-agency/



The special issue will examine emerging new forms of public health
activism, and associated novel sources of collective agency, that are
evolving in the fight for health-enabling conditions. Attention to
structural forms of power, and the strengths and weaknesses of individual
agency have long been cornerstones of critical public health, rooted in a
long-established structure-agency binary. We seek to disrupt this binary by
calling for papers that draw attention to alternative, distributed,
networked, disruptive, prefigurative or bottom-up sources of agency that
characterise emerging new forms of activism.



New and resurgent social movements include attention to issues of
anti-austerity, disability rights, new feminisms, defence of public
services, housing justice, urban regeneration, anti-racism and advocacy
targeting commercial determinants of health. Alternative forms of
health-enhancing agency ?in the cracks? are evident in the form of ?wilful
subjectivities? (e.g. transgender and queer politics), non-human agency
(e.g. communication technologies, built environment), distributed agency
(e.g. emergence of common causes, new networks, emergent protest),
occupation of space, evidence-based activisms and artistic expressions.
Evident too are efforts to connect grassroots collective agency to
traditional axes of power, e.g. social enterprises using capitalist
business models, or grassroots party political activism. Papers on any of
these, or other, locations of collective agency with potential for
innovative public health activism would all be suited to the special issue.



We invite papers from the full range of public health disciplines,
exploring the possibilities of public health activism in contemporary
conditions, especially papers with strong empirical bases in studies of
recent/contemporary activism. Creative responses to crisis are most often
generated in practice rather than theory, and we particularly welcome
papers rooted in activist and collaborative praxis.



A two-round review process will take place:



Please submit abstracts (250-300 words) to Flora Cornish (
f.cornish at lse.ac.uk).



Abstract submission deadline: May 1, 2019
