Dear all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">a colleague and I are organizing a panel on „Differences that Matter: Inequalities in Global Health“ at the MAGic2015 conference on Anthropology and Global Health (9-11 Sept 2015). Some of you might wish to submit an abstract. Please note that
submission is through the conference website only. </div>
<div class="">Best wishes, </div>
<div class="">Sandra </div>

<div class="">Here is the panel description: </div>

</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Differences that Matter: Inequalities in Global Health</b> (panel 14) </div>
<div class="">Conveners: Sandra Calkins (MPI for Social Anthropology) and Emily Yates-Doerr (University of Amsterdam)</div>
<div class="">Discussant: Simon Cohn (LSHTM)</div>

<div class="">There is a shared commitment between the fields of global health and medical anthropology that inequalities in health must be eliminated. But how to do so, and what inequality may be are unsettled questions. This panel explores how inequalities
come to matter, unpacking the evidentiary practices in global health that mark some concerns as worthy of attention and aid. It asks how anthropologists can intervene in spaces of global health, humanitarianism, development cooperation, and other sites where
decision-making is infused with a sense of urgency. Whereas global health practitioners tend to assume the universal applicability of their methods and evidences, medical anthropologists often study how differences materialize in specific therapeutic assemblages.
Instead of only pointing out differences and incommensurabilities in global health, how can we use our methods and their strengths to build better worlds?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We invite theoretical and empirical papers that examine:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) What evidentiary practices are used to qualify health inequalities, compare them, set priorities and propose solutions? </div>
<div class="">2) How might medical anthropologists interfere in global health decision-making to make a difference? What criteria and normativities mark our knowledge claims? </div>
<div class="">3) How can we study the un/making of differences in global health in times of urgency without hiding behind standard critical stances? How does this relate to hopes for better futures?</div>
