The Centre for Health, Law, and Society is honoured to be hosting Professor Lawrence O. Gostin, the world’s leading scholar of the emerging field of Global Health Law, as an Institute for Advanced Studies Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professor in April 2018.
To mark the occasion, the Centre for Health, Law, and Society is organising a half-day cross-disciplinary symposium at the University of Bristol, centred around Professor Gostin’s vision of ‘global health with justice’.
We would like to invite those researching on any issues connected with global health and justice (including PhD students) to attend and/or to present papers. Please send expressions of interest in attendance, or presentation, to keith.syrett@bristol.ac.uk by Friday 30 March.
If you wish to present a paper, please include a title and brief abstract. It is hoped that papers presented at the symposium will form the subject of a journal special edition.
The symposium will be held on 24 April 2018, in the Lady Hale Moot Court, 8-10 Berkeley Square.
