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.

All day
March 17, 2021 – March 19, 2021Title: Feminism, Gender, and (Historical) Science and Technology Studies
Organizers: Interdisziplinäre Zentrum für Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung (IZWT), University of Wuppertal
Description: In 1978 the women’s studies journal Signs published a special issue “women, science, and society” – a milestone in the formation of a broad and heterogeneous body of work dedicated to the role of gender in the production, dissemination, and application of “scientific knowledge” and “technology”. This interdisciplinary workshop investigates the history of feminist science and technology studies, situating its emergence and development in the context of second wave feminism, Cold War social science, and critical environmentalism. At the same time, its participants examine for a variety of different fields and research objects, the impact of gendered distributions of labor, of heteronormative images of “nature”, or of ideals of masculinity in the construction of
scientists’ bodies and “scientificity” itself. Moreover, they reflect how feminist perspectives provide tools and spaces for thinking and doing science and technology “otherwise”. Topics of the different panels also include food (science), ecology, and disaster. A special focus will be on intersectional approaches that explore how gender is co-constructed and interacts with other categories and axis of difference and inequality, such as race, age or able-bodiedness, and on queer, as well as post- and decolonial perspectives.Language: ENG

March 17, 2021Title: Risk factors for Depression and Anxiety during the Pandemic
Organizers: Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR)
Description: Depression was already the second leading cause of global burden of disease before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic almost one year ago. Mental health conditions were associated with global economic costs rising to U$S 1 trillion per year. These estimates are expected to further increase in the current context and have an unprecedented impact on an already overstretched healthcare system. Identifying preventable risk factors for depression and other mental health conditions has the potential to help reduce this burden and improve the mental wellbeing of all citizens.
Higher rates of anxiety and depression can be directly associated with the infection in a part of the population that experiences increased fear of getting infected, contagion or uncertainty regarding the course of the treatment. But the largest impact of the pandemic will be indirect, and associated with stressors originating from the significant disruptions in living and socioeconomic conditions including enforced isolation, domestic violence, financial burden and wider environmental factors such as lack of access to green spaces. In this seminar we will discuss these expectations based on the social determinants of mental health model and results of the CoviCat study.
