Symposium programme now available; register by 6 July

Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to announce that the Fresh Perspectives symposium programme is now finalised. Please see the flyer below for the confirmed speakers. Don't forget to register to attend by 6 July 2018 (this Friday!). You can download the AMR symposium programme and registration form on the AMIS Hub website.

In other news, I recently was on a panel at the Hay-on-Wye How the Light Gets In Festival to talk about "Drugs, Bugs, and our Precarious Existence" - you can read all about my experience on our AMIS blog, or scroll below for a link.  We've also been working hard to upload a lot more Essential Reading, so don't forget to check in on our website regularly for what is new, and do let us know at AnthropologyAMR@lshtm.ac.uk if you have ideas for essential reading or blog posts you would like to see more of.

This month's highlights (scroll below for links) include one of our essential reads "Anthropology's contribution to AMR control" and Alex Broom's seminar on "a sociology of antimicrobial mis-use and resistance". We also have new videos up on the Hub website, on Social Science and AMR, as well as a tour of the AMIS Hub website and ways you can contribute.

Best wishes,
Clare

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. 
Featured Commentary:
How The Light Gets In

During the last bank holiday in May, Clare also had to the chance to speak and engage with members of the public at the Hay-on-Wye How The Light Gets In Festival. Angela Saini, health journalist, asked the panel whether it will be possible to defeat AMR, or whether we should come to terms with our precarious existence. Read about Clare's experience in this month's featured commentary/blog post.
