The aim of this annual short course, now in its third year, is to introduce students to key topics in international mental health, with a focus on policy relevant research in developing countries.
http://www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/virtual/?path=/international/shortcourse/
The course will focus upon the methods needed to ensure mental health research is sensitive to cultural and health system factors. The course will also stress the methods to make findings implemented in policy, and to consider the applications of methods of intervention research. Lectures, practicals and group work will be used as primary teaching methods. Students will be introduced to key themes and practicals and group work will encourage students to develop research questions and study designs.

A one-day interdisciplinary conference on international health worker migration
17th September 2007
Keele University , UK
Call for papers: Please submit relevant abstracts by 22nd June.
The 'brain drain' of skilled labour from poor to rich countries particularly in the healthcare professions continues apace, threatening health, human rights and development goals for the world's poor. The international migration of health workers is induced by and reinforces gross global inequalities that are characteristic of globalisation. They challenge notions that justice, health systems and justice within health systems are areas of only domestic concern. Against this backdrop, this conference is interested in understanding the 'brain drain' of health workers and its impact on global health as matters of justice.

One-day interdisciplinary conference on International Health Worker Migration
Website:
">http://www.keele.ac.uk/research/lpj/GlobalHealth/
The closing date for submission of abstracts is Friday 22nd June 2007
Keynote Speakers
Professor Thomas Pogge, Columbia University
Professor Karen Hassell, University of Manchester
Globalisation and the prospects of international migration bring both opportunities and challenges. The north-south and south-south ‘brain drain’ of skilled labour is induced by and reinforces gross global inequalities that have been exacerbated by globalisation. International migration in the healthcare professions threatens health, human rights and development goals for the world’s poor challenging notions that justice, health systems and migration policies are matters only for domestic concern. Against this backdrop, this conference is interested in understanding the ‘brain drain’ of health workers and its impact on global health as matters of justice.

Connecting Science, Society and Development
DSA 2007 Conference 18-20 September 2007
Call for Sessions
Rapid advances in science and technology create both opportunities and threats, and increasingly attract attention from policymakers, the media and researchers. What can development studies contribute to understanding these trends, and influencing processes and outcomes in innovations to ensure maximum benefit for the poor? In what ways might a focus on science, society and development lead to a rethinking of what development and development studies has to offer?
The DSA 2007 Conference will be hosted by the Institute of Development Studies on the theme of “Connecting Science, Society and Development”. We are inviting proposals from study groups to run one or more working groups during the three-day conference.
