Location: UNM Student Union, Room Lobo A

Please join us for a presentation on “Healthcare and Structural Violence in Post-Colonial Africa” by Dr. Jamal Martin, Professor, UNM Africana Studies. Since independence, much of Africa has struggled with an inadequate healthcare infrastructure, resulting in widespread medical crises -- from HIV/AIDS to Ebola outbreaks that have been addressed in a haphazard manner. Dr. Martin's talk examines the paucity of healthcare service providers in post-colonial Africa through the lens of structural violence. He will also address the question of if and how this type of violence can be addressed.
