Dear Members of the SDOH Listserv,

We are pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for Workshops and Presentations for the 3rd Annual Dalla Lana School of Public Health Student-Led Conference, "The Art of Public Health". The conference's focus is on arts-based approaches to public health areas, including research, knowledge translation, program planning and evaluation. The conference is being organized by a multidisciplinary group of graduate students within the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health. The conference is set for Friday October 1st, 2010, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The "Art of Public Health" will feature an outstanding keynote address by Dr. Sarah Flicker, and informative sessions aimed at engaging our participants by providing an opportunity for dialogue and debate, as well as hands-on learning and skill development pertaining to the area of arts in the field of public health.

We are currently seeking submissions from interested students, community organizations, practitioners, researchers and artists interested in sharing their research, experience or expertise in the use of arts in public health. Individuals or groups wanting to exhibit works of art, dance, theatre, film or photography are also encouraged to participate.
