After the End of Disease conference (360G-Wellcome-200447_Z_16_Z)

This conference brings together historians of medicine and global public health, anthropologists and sociologists with policy makers to challenge conventional linear narratives of epidemics and diseases in general. The overall aim of the event is to bring multiple perspectives and analyze what happens when diseases are decreed to be over. This work will offer a robust analytical framework and will inform current global health policies of eradication and epidemic management. In turn, it will bring the experiences of practitioners in global public health to provide insight and further the understanding of the historical and social trajectories of these phenomena. The key goals of this conference are: 1. Understand and identify historical trajectories and challenges associated with post-outbreak periods. 2. Create a critical knowledge mass to equip future policy-makers with the necessary tools to address post-outbreak issues. 3. Build a network of scholars and policymakers that can be mobilised in future global health crises to advise how to better tackle post-outbreak moments.
