UF Synergies: The Politics of Pandemics in a Global Frame - April 19th
|
|
|
The Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere invites you to two presentations by the Tedder Doctoral Fellows.
Suvendu Ghatak (Ph.D Student, English) – “Malarial Modernity: Colonialism and the Politics of Health in Modern South Asia”. In this presentation, Suvendu Ghatak will read across medical, administrative, and literary archives in English, Bengali, and Hindi, between 1780 and 1950, to describe how in colonial South Asia malaria became marked as the pathology of primitivity and degeneracy.
Katherine McNamara (Ph.D. Student, Environmental and Global Health) — “People, Plants, and Pandemics”. Using two disease events as focal points — the emergence of malaria in the 17th century and the COVID-19 pandemic, Katherine McNamara’s research in Ecuador leverages archival and anthropological methods to explore how relationships between people and medicinal plants evolve as health ecologies shift.
Learn more on the synergies website or contact Barbara Mennel , Director, Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere (mennel@ufl.edu) if you have questions.

UF Compliance and Ethics Learn Over Lunch Session - Youth Compliance - May 23rd
|
|
|
Is your UF unit planning one or more events, including camps, primarily for youth (under 18 years of age)? If so, you will not want to miss the May 23rd UFCE Learn over Lunch! Sophia Andrews, Assistant Director, Youth Compliance, will join the Learn over Lunch bunch, to discuss a wide range of topics, including: the University’s new Youth Compliance policy; how to register events with the Youth Compliance office; and the types of parental/guardian consents the University requires at youth-focused events. Sophia will also discuss the various legal requirements UF staff should be aware of, such as when event staffers need to be background checked and/or receive youth protection training, and the obligation of “any person” to report suspected abuse, abandonment, or neglect of a child.
The University of Florida is committed to providing an enriching experience for youth engaged in both in-person and virtual activities associated with the University. Fulfilling UF’s commitment requires that planners of such events understand their responsibilities. Attending this Learn over Lunch is a great way to get a head start on that understanding.
May 23, noon – 12:50, via Zoom | Registration Link
This session will be recorded and can be accessed on Past Sessions within a week (or so) after the session concludes.
If you have any general questions about the Learn over Lunch, please contact Loren Israel at Loren.Israel@ufl.edu.
