Paul Kadetz, DPhil, MPH
Global Health Exchange

Join us for a morning Global Health Exchange lecture, sponsored by DGHI. This event is free and open to the public so please spread the word to your colleagues and friends. Refreshment will be served. | ABOUT THE LECTURE: The practice of global health problematizes simple, closed-system, linear approaches to population health. Universalized policies and interventions, formulated at multilateral and global levels, present a marked challenge when the particulars of the local level are confronted. Utilizing research from multiple contexts, this presentation examines how complexity and assets-based approaches to global health research and interventions may provide a bridge between global health processes and local level healthcare and population health. | ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Paul Kadetz is an Assistant Professor of Global Health and convenor of the BSc in Global Public Health at Leiden University College. He is also a Research Associate of The Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford and an Associate of the China Centre for Health and Humanity at University College London. Paul holds post-graduate degrees in International Health and Development, Medical Anthropology, Advanced Practice Nursing and a doctorate in Development Studies. Paul has conducted research in China, Guatemala, the Philippines and post-Katrina New Orleans in the areas of health care systems, health care access, integrative medicine, structural violence & health inequity and health diplomacy.
