F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Event Description

3 February 2015, 12pm noon GMT

Population mobility is increasingly recognised as a central determinant of health, yet public health responses fail to engage with migration. This is especially true when thinking about HIV prevention and treatment programmes.

This webinar:

  • explores the relationship between migration and HIV
  • suggests ways to improve responses
  • proposes methods for measuring population movements in formative and evaluation research

With a commitment to social justice and the development of pro-poor policy responses, Jo Vearey's research explores international, regional, national and local responses to migration, health and urban vulnerabilities. Jo is interested in urban health, public health, migration and health, the social determinants of health, HIV, sex work and local level responses. She is a Senior Researcher with the African Centre for Migration and Society, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
