Join us this year as the Law & Global Health Collaboration explores the intersections of law and global health as it relates to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
Following the last two years of work supporting the health and rights of transgender populations and exploring the implications of the Trump administration’s policies, this year’s series brings the two streams together to help USC move towards research and action in the area of SRHR.
Global(HEALTH+LAW)
The USC Law & Global Health Collaboration advances scholarship and provides monthly lectures and public discussions at the intersection of law and global health. Virtually all significant global health topics raise challenging issues for the law, which are better understood and addressed when considered from a multidisciplinary basis. The collaboration invites interested students, faculty and staff to partake in a free exchange of ideas and collaboration on these important topics.
Supported by the USC Research Collaboration Fund, Professor Sofia Gruskin, director of the Program on Global Health & Human Rights, leads this collaboration alongside USC Gould Professor of Law and Medicine Alexander Capron and USC Research Professor and Associate Dean of Research Charles Kaplan from the School of Social Work.
