Workshop on Migration and Health – Perspectives from South Asia<\/strong><\/p>\n

October 12-13, 2023
\nSeattle, Washington
\n<\/strong>Zoom link:<\/strong> https:\/\/washington.zoom.us\/j\/97511275935<\/a><\/p>\n

UW Faculty Nathalie Williams<\/a> and Sarfraz Khan<\/a> are hosting a workshop focused on Migration & Health: Perspectives from South Asia on October 12-13, 2023 on the UW campus (co-sponsored by CSDE and the South Asia Center).<\/p>\n

You are invited to join, in person or on zoom, presentations by scholars from across South Asia and the U.S. The program is attached, with in person meeting rooms indicated for each day.<\/p>\n

Human migration is a defining issue of our time and is increasingly recognized as a global public health priority. Migration has long been linked to the transmission of diseases and health risks, especially in the era of epidemics which do not respect international borders. Scholarship on health and migration has examined the social, political, and economic production of diseases and their interaction with processes of migration, transit, legal status, and migrants\u2019 incorporation into the places to which they migrate, over time \u2013 as well as their effects on the places of origin.<\/p>\n

The South Asian region is home to billions of people, as well as the source and destination of a substantial proportion of migrants globally. There are many similarities between the migration patterns and health vulnerabilities of the different countries in this region. While there are numerous country case studies about migration throughout the region, few efforts have integrated knowledge across the region. Understanding the similarities that combine to create a regional migration system and the differences between countries and micro-regions within countries can advance academic and policy-relevant research far more than research on each country in isolation.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss out on the presentation of this exciting emerging work on the causes and types of migration and the health consequences of migration across the countries of South Asia!<\/p>\n
