Description
Addressing the forces that create health inequity requires in-depth explorations of each variable that contributes to poor health. Economic, societal, and political causes are now considered and studied in conjunction with biophysical ones. In light of advancing globalization, health professionals and students are travelling, researching, and engaging increasingly in cross-cultural exchanges. Eleven years ago, Dalhousie University established the Global Health Office to support students and faculty members who include international activities in their career. A decade later, we recognize the complexity of health systems as well as the importance of building local capacity in education and research. A Café will be held on a pressing theme within global health research led by Nova Scotian experts. This Café will look at perspectives on the importance of food security in global health, and engage in a discussion on Canadian and local Nova Scotian approaches to food systems. A Café Scientifique is an opportunity to bring together experts with members of the public to translate and share knowledge on some of the interesting research currently underway in Canada. Admission to the Café Scientifique is free and open to anyone interested in learning about research that influences the health of communities both locally and globally.
