Special Issue: Global Health
From
multilateral initiatives to address HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis
to civil society agitation in support of supervised injection sites in
Canadian cities, global health issues have attracted unprecedented
funding and debate in recent years. In light of the centrality of
health interventions in international development, Undercurrent is
pleased to announce a Special Issue focusing exclusively on Global
Health.
