Wellesley Urban Health Seminar Series Presents Dr. Meredith Minkler
Date: December 10th, 2004 - 9:30am-12:00pm
Location: Munk Centre for International Studies

WCHC and the Lupina Foundation are pleased to announce that North America's
authority on Community Based Research, Dr. Meredith Minkler, is coming
exclusively to the Munk Centre to speak on the subject of Community-Based
Participatory Research (CBPR) as a means of promoting health public policy.
In her talk she will discuss and illustrate by example some of the leading
efforts to impact on policy through CBPR and also talk about the emerging
success factors, tensions and challenges involved in such work.  She will
also discuss some of the difficulties that arise as efforts are made to
tease apart the contributions of CBPR from those of other developments that
impact policy outcomes.  Finally, Dr. Minkler will speak to the value of
some of the contributions WCHC is making by promoting work at a policy
level.
