WHAT IS IT?
The Global Health calendar, or GH calendar, is a tool that will centralize information about events occurring worldwide related to Global Health, so you can easily access them and you don’t miss anything! The events will be published by us, but you can contribute in filling the calendar with GH events of your interest. We want this tool to be easily accessible, practical, updated and collaborative.
It is important to note that we do not organize the events found in this calendar. The ones organized by the Global Health Next Generation Network are found in Events.
This means that we cannot ensure that this events will happen, and we do not take responsibility if they are cancelled. We also want to make clear that we are not receiving any gains from promoting these events.
HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE?
You can contribute to the GH calendar by sending us events you find interesting in the form found below, as long as they are within the scope of Global Health. We’ll review them and publish them on the calendar.
At the same time, you can also add comments giving your opinion of past events you have attended, either if you knew about them thanks to our tool or not. You will find the comments form soon in this page.

March 8, 2021(2 events) March 8, 2021 – March 10, 2021 Title: Global Health and Drug Policy Organizers: Global Health Centre, Graduate Institute Geneva Description: In this 3-day course we will explore questions such as: What should the new direction post-2019 be for the future UN governance of international drug policy? How can different actors contribute to a global process in order to ensure that drug policies improve rather than harm the health and welfare of people? What should the role of civil society and user networks be in the international debate on drug policies?

Legal Diplomacy, Situational Self-Restraint and Dejudicialisation Organizers: Global Governance Centre, Graduate Institute Geneva (part of ERC funded research project "The Paths of International Law" Description: In recent years, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has faced a growing number of challenges, stemming, among other reasons, from problems with the implementation of some of its judgments, an upsurge of sovereigntist sentiments in some member states and the rise of de facto illiberal democracies within its jurisdiction. This article examines the effects that these changing contexts have had on the operation of the ECtHR. In very general terms, the article finds that the ECtHR has become increasingly more restrained, but that this restraint plays out in multiple different ways which reflect the structural differences among the member states with regard to the protection of human rights. The article argues that the ECtHR has developed a new and differentiated legal rationality that combines elements of its original legal diplomacy with new forms of strategic deference and a different vision for its overarching role in the protection of European human rights. Overall, the result is a narrowing of the role of the Court. Language: ENG Registration: Free/ Need to previous register Online |

March 11, 2021(3 events) – Title: How to Eat in Palestine: Women, Nutrition, and the Settler Colonial Economy under the British Mandate (1920s-1940s) Organizers: Gender Centre, Graduate Institute Geneva Description: Under the British Mandate for Palestine (1920-1948) European Jews settled in the country in unprecedented numbers. Within this broader history of colonisation, asking what Jewish settlers ate there might not seem like a pressing matter. But for many Jewish experts in Palestine – including nutritionists, agronomists, economists, and others – promoting a proper diet among Jewish newcomers was not strictly a matter of public health, but rather a tool to support and sustain a growing settler-colonial economy in an expanding Jewish settlement. Notably, women led many of the efforts to educate Jewish settlers on matters of consumption. Through food programmes, newspaper columns, radio shows, and cookbooks, female nutrition experts prescribed a diet that drew on nutritional science but was adapted to national goals. Bringing together food, physiques, and Zionist ideology, this presentation will highlight the political economy of nutrition and its value for the colonisation of Palestine.

Kelli Dillon, who was involuntarily sterilised at the age of 24 while incarcerated, teams up with Cynthia Chandler, a human rights lawyer, to fight for reproductive justice at the world’s largest women’s prison, the Central California Women’s Facility. As they prepare to take Kelli’s case to court, they uncover a wide range of crimes occurring within the facility – from inadequate access to healthcare to sexual assault to illegal sterilization – the latter largely perpetrated against the facility’s Black and Latinx populations. Their joint efforts in exposing the atrocities carried out behind closed doors ultimately shed new, timely light on the systemic racism and violence impacting people of color in women’s prisons, in a fight for reparations and justice.
