Join us for the seventh annual Critical Social Science Perspectives in Global Health<\/a> Research Workshop on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to learn about new research happening at 快播视频 that uses critical social science perspectives and methodologies to understand the global health enterprise. Researchers working in this vein tend to engage directly with global public health actors, structures, and systems, using transdisciplinary, participatory, experimental or experiential methods. The Workshop is intended to generate new insights, foster collaboration, and discover new opportunities in global health research.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the keynote, we will hear from the 2025 seed grant recipients regarding the progress of their global health research projects funded by the Critical Perspectives in Global Health Seed Grant<\/strong>. The seed grant program supports critical global health research within the three themes at the Dahdaleh Institute (planetary health, global health and humanitarianism, and global health foresighting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, York faculty and global health researchers will then have the opportunity to deliver Pitch Presentations: brief 5-minute presentations on any current or planned research project that takes a critical social science approach to global health. Register as a Pitch Presenter to receive valuable feedback on your proposal from expert researchers.
