Scoping and Collaboration Exercise for Epilepsy Research in Zimbabwe (360G-Wellcome-203102_Z_16_Z)

£2,706

This application requests funds for two speakers from Zimbabwe to attend a conference I am co-organising at St Antony's College, Oxford. The theme is Health and Politics in Zimbabwe and the Diasporas. The Research Day will examine the politics of health provision, health culture, change and development, exploring history, practice and impacts. The experiences of Zimbabwean health professionals abroad will be a key part of the conversation. The day will include a mix of well-known and up and coming researchers and practitioners, academics and non-academics. It will be a forum for debate, shared experiences, new research and future thinking. My invited speakers are contacts working in Zimbabwe on 1) health policy and 2) epilepsy. I have conducted a 2 week pilot visit to Zimbabwe in order to identify field sites for a larger grant application on the history of epilepsy in Africa. Both of these contacts will be instrumental for future research. In addition to the Oxford conference, I will organise meetings for the speakers with researchers interested in mental health and epilepsy in Zimbabwe/Africa, as well as visits to the Wellcome Unit for the History of Medicine, Oxford, Wellcome Library in London, Epilepsy Research UK and Epilepsy Action, London.
