eHealth Talks: Beyond the health emergency: care, social sciences and the pandemic

eHealth Talks: Beyond the health emergency: care, social sciences and the pandemic
 
A new eHealth Talks seminar is set to take place on 15 September at 3:30 p.m. Israel Rodríguez, an IN3 researcher and coordinator of the CareNet research group, will share his research in a talk entitled "Beyond the health emergency: care, social sciences and the pandemic". As is now the custom for these seminars, the talk will be moderated by the director of the eHealth Center, Albert Barberà.
 
Rodríguez will share the results of the research he carried out during the pandemic, "emphasizing the importance of concepts such as the 'slow disaster' in order to expand, from a social sciences viewpoint, on the approaches to tackling this crisis that focus most on biohealth and security," he said.
 
The IN3 CareNet researcher will reflect on the need to go beyond the idea of health emergency, showing the role that care and the social sciences could play when rethinking the pandemic and "lending visibility to a series of impacts and harm, often slower and more gradual, that especially affect people in the most disadvantaged groups and those least able
to have their voice heard".
 
As they are internal events, attendance at the seminars is limited to the UOC community.
