[TheUWfarm] Fw: [CMH] 4/10 UW Students for Equal Health event: Media & Health

Hi farmers,

This isn't directly related to agriculture, but I just registered for a workshop about the media and health that sounds interesting, so I wanted to pass it on. We've looked at health through a lens of food production systems -- why not look at it through another lens, such as the media?

Be well,
Joanna

How is modern media influencing our health? Are the images used to
communicate health ethically portraying the communities they
feature? What determines whether a health issue will be featured in
the news? How can new media tools be used to raise awareness about
social issues? What are some examples of effective public health
campaigns? How is the interface between media and health affecting
us?

We invite you to "get the scoop" about interactions between media
and health this spring at the University of Washington Students for
Equal Health 4th Annual Summit on Health Inequality. The 2010
conference theme uses media as a fresh, exciting perspective to
inspire innovative conversations about health in our modern world.
We are examining the influence of social media, broadcasting,
photography, journalism, television, documentaries, and other new
media tools on the portrayal and perception of health today. Come
and join the conversation!
