Journal Club

We facilitate a journal club which meets two times a month during the academic year. For Winter Term 2011 we will be meeting from 12:30-1:30 pm in Room 436 at the Library Processing Centre (School of Population and Public Health-2206 East Mall on the UBC campus). Participants engage in in-depth discussion and critique of an article related to global health, chosen to reflect participant interests and read in advance. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and interests. No prior knowledge is necessary. Everyone is welcome to come and engage in lively discussion and debate.
