Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to our upcoming CIBUL webinar.
EXPLORING THE LINK BETWEEN GLOBAL HEALTH AND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
October 18.
Global Start Times: 13:00-14:30 EDT (New York City) | 18:00-19:30 BST (London) |
10:00-11:30 PST (Vancouver)
The Webinar aims to explore current and emerging themes on the interface of Global Health and International Business, such as how the structure of global production and trade, including the cross-border activities of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs), impact on and are impacted by population health worldwide. Bringing together expert panelists from different disciplines, the webinar will explore how interdisciplinary research that combines insights from International Business, other social sciences, and biomedical sciences can fill knowledge gaps that can help tackle Global Health Challenges.
Junghoon Park (Loyola Marymount University) will discuss how international business can contribute to the articulation of global health priorities and engage in multilevel actions toward tackling global health challenges, whereas Nicholas Freudenberg (The City University of New York, CUNY) will share insights on academic research on commercial determinants of health and how MNEs' activities influence population health outcomes globally. Andrew Jorgenson (The University of British Columbia) will present research on how the structure of global production and trade networks impact on the environment and climate change and the implications of these impacts for global health.
