Essential Reading:
The contribution of anthropology to AMR control
This month's featured Essential Reading is a review of the contribution of anthropology to AMR control, written by Clare Chandler and Laurie Denyer-Willis for the 2018 edition of AMR Control. The publication is the work of the World Alliance Against Antibiotic Resistance (WAAAR). A preview was made available for the World Health Assembly, and hard copies of the full version will be made available soon. This high level publication brings together contributors from around the world to provide readers with a coherent picture of the latest thinking on developments, solutions and policy.
Meet Prof. Alex Broom, our featured AMIS Hub profile of the month. Alex is Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of the Practical Justice Initiative at The University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney. He is recognised as an international leader in the sociology of health and illness, and he recently gave a seminar at LSHTM on "A sociology of antimicrobial mis-use and resistance". A recording of the seminar is available to view.
