Description
Epidemic and pandemic events are likely to increase with accelerating climate change, human mobility, and globalization. What role will anthropologists play in the future of global health, especially epidemic preparedness and response? This panel presents findings from five different engagements with the public research archive called “The Ebola 100 Project.” This panel presents findings from over 200 qualitative “Ebola 100” interviews that interrogated aspects of the West Africa Ebola epidemic and its internationalized response. Participants will address themes including: the militarization of aid, managing risk, international response to disease control, biomedical research in responses, social mobilization, and health system sustainability.
