Pandemic Preparedness, Outbreaks, and Conflict
This workshop brings together humanities scholars and medical researchers to discuss current research on disease outbreaks and pandemic preparedness in the context of conflict settings. This in part draws on the PSI’s Nipah programme’s research projects – the BASE study and the STIGMA study – which, because they are based in Bangladesh, have also discussed how to approach preparedness activities and outbreak responses in countries with degrees of unstable political circumstances. The workshop also draws on longstanding research into the relationship between conflicts, disease outbreaks, and medical responses, including Oxford’s Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology’s projects on Malaria in Asia and Medicine and Conflict
