Interdisciplinary Explorations in Planetary Health - A SHS, History,
Ecology & Health Sciences Workshop

This workshop will bring together 25 researchers in history, anthropology, sociology, ecology, entomology, and medicine in order to promote discussions around the theme of planetary health.

Participants are invited to circulate a brief “thought piece” note (700-1200 words) before the workshop (see attached document). Each participant will have 10 minutes to present, followed by a comment from a speaker and a debate between all participants. This format will facilitate a dynamic discussion and lay the foundations for publication in the form of articles or position papers concerning planetary health and SHS.
