Violence and health - learning from the WHO framework
Prof. John Macdonald

This “ecological” framework is consistent with the emerging science on the social determinants of health and helps us understand and address violence of all kinds in more comprehensive ways. The presentation will include examples from Palestine where Professor Macdonald is a Visiting Professor.
