SUMMARY:Pandemic Flu Controversies: A Workshop to discuss lessons\, policy implications and future challenges
DESCRIPTION:Since the first human deaths from H5N1 were recorded in Hong Kong in 1997\, avian influenza has spread across the world\, concentrating in southeast Asia. Billions of dollars have been spent on control measures\, contingency plans and policy measures. In 2009 another influenza virus\, H1N1 (popularly named ‘swine’ flu)\, was recorded in Mexico\, and spread in pandemic proportions over the coming months. None of these events to date have resulted in major human mortality on a scale some have predicted. The virus was either virulent but did not spread\, or spread but was mild. Yet the prospect of some future combination where pandemic spread and mass deaths is very real\, as recent laboratory research on H5N1 confirms. \nOver the last 15 years\, scientific advances in our understanding of the genetics\, epidemiology and ecology of flu viruses have been rapid and impressive. Yet our appreciation of the social\, political\, institutional and policy implications has been more limited. What lessons can we learn from the experiences of dealing with the potential global threat of highly pathogenic influenza? This workshop aims to bring together researchers\, practitioners and policy makers to discuss the issues around a series of relevant themes. \nThis workshop\, jointly hosted by the STEPS Centre and the Centre for Global Health Policy\, University of Sussex\, will be an invite-only workshop\, but many relevant materials and reources are available on our website. \n\nWorkshop programme (pdf)\nParticipants(pdf 132kb)\nPandemic Flu Controversies workshop report (pdf 115kb)\n\nWe have created a series of web pages associated with this workshop and our work in this area:\n1. Pandemic Influenza: Politics and Policy\n2. Pandemic Influenza: Resources\n3. Pandemic Influenza: Research themes \nPhoto gallery

SUMMARY:Pathways to Sustainability and the Politics of Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Leach\n\nResearch Fellow\, Institute of Development Studies\n\nAndy Stirling\n\nProfessor of Science and Technology\, University of Sussex\n\nToday’s environmentally anxious age is dependent upon the roles of science\, technology\, and innovation. These are not only complex and uncertain role dynamics\, but they also circulate deeply contrasting narratives about whether or not they matter and to whom\, and what to do about them. \nThis talk will share how researchers at the Social\, Technological\, and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability Centre (STEPS) are thinking globally about sustainability challenges in ways that incorporate concern for equity\, social justice\, and the well-being of marginalized groups. Melissa Leach and Andy Stirling will illustrate a multiple\, flexible pathways approach showing how people produce particular narratives that frame these roles in diverse ways\, promote particular goals and values\, and justify particular responses. \nMelissa Leach directs the STEPS Centre\, an interdisciplinary research and policy center focusing on using science and technology to reduce poverty and improve social justice. Professor Andy Stirling co-directs STEPS with Leach and serves on multiple collaboration-based advisory boards emphasizing democracy\, sustainability\, and equity. \nTuesday\, January 22\, 2013 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. (lunch will be provided) Memorial Union\, Room 202 Alumni Arizona State University\, Tempe campus \nMore information on the Arizona website
