Global health as a concept is multi-faceted and in practice it is often characterised by neoliberal surplus health, vertical service programmes and collaborations between international bodies seeking to address health-related issues in low-income countries. Science and technology play a central role in analysing these recent developments in Global Health, and with its interest in materiality, knowledge production, infrastructures, scientific collaboration and boundary-crossing, STS offers tools to understand Global Health challenges.</font></span></p><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; "><font size="2"> </font></span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; "><font size="2">This workshop explores the intersections of social studies of Global Health and Science and Technology Studies and asks: What kinds of knowledge production and governance processes are <a name="_GoBack"></a>evident in Global Health? How are boundaries crossed, produced and maintained? How do context and history shape Global Health programmes? How are different communities and forms of expertise produced, involved and enacted? What is the role of bioethics in such programmes? Issues that could be addressed include, among others: practices within global clinical trials, development of Global Health technologies (drugs, diagnostics, vaccines, and service delivery strategies), experimental public health interventions, access to medicines and health care, population surveillance programmes, novel collaborative partnerships (including civil society and activist groups), and governance mechanisms in regulating these.</font></span></p><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; "><font size="2"> </font></span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2"><b><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; ">Details of the workshop</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; "></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2"><b><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; "><br></span></b></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; "><font size="2">The workshop will take place in <b>12-13 November 2013</b> at the Department of Health, Ethics & Society (HES), Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands.
