Maude Fife Room, 315 Wheeler Hall
Thursday, October 25, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
In summer 2007 representatives of the Human Rights Center and Johns Hopkins University
released a report documenting how decades of repressive rule, civil war, and poor
governance have contributed to the spread of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and
other infectious diseases in Burma. For the report, researchers traveled to Rangoon
and Burmaís borders with China, Thailand, Bangladesh and India. Join them for a panel
discussion on their findings, recommendations and thoughts on the future given the recent
uprisings in Burma.
