Sorry for cross posting; this has also circulated on the WAPA jobs list. There will also be special events/sessions at the AAA meeting in December in DC that explore anthropological engagement with the Ebola situation.
Anthropologists Offer Insights and Solutions to the Ebola Crisis
When: Friday, November 7, 2014; 2:30-5pm
Where: George Washington University, Media and Public Affairs Building, Room MPA B07, 805 21st St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20052*
Leading anthropologists will address the general public in an open forum discussing their insights and recommendations on how to solve the Ebola crisis.
These comments follow a two-day workshop of intensive sessions and represent the collaborative efforts of more than 25 of the world's leading anthropologists who have worked in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. Their distinctive knowledge of social and cultural institutions and dynamics in these nations and their diasporas provides critical context in reviewing current responses and providing actionable guidance to humanitarian responders working to stop Ebola.
During the open forum, practitioners, policy makers, scholars, and the public will be invited to pose questions to the assembled anthropological experts.
Conveners: the American Anthropological Association, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the World Council of Anthropological Associations, with additional support from the International Development Centre, and hosted by The George Washington University.
Moderators:
Dr. Edward Liebow, Executive Director, American Anthropological Association
