It seems that lately we cannot go a single day without seeing multiple reports of conflict and human rights violations that are happening around the globe, with millions of people facing violence, discrimination and threats to their lives, livelihoods and well-being. Traditional human rights reporting focuses on documentation of egregious or individual cases based on a legal approach. Increasingly, epidemiological frameworks and methodologies are being utilized to better assess and document the impacts of conflict on human health. Dr. Alden Blair will discuss a brief history of the intersection of conflict, health, and human rights from a research perspective. He will also discuss the various career trajectories that one can explore if interested in becoming more involved.
