This twelfth conference will focus on the Climate Crisis and Global Health, emphasizing the relationship between health and climate. The interdisciplinary conference invites participants from different disciplines to engage in civil discourse on a different topic each year. The format of the conference includes workshops, presentations, and posters.
The IOC theme for 2027 is a unique opportunity for collaboration to benefit the hundreds of students who take interdisciplinary global health courses every semester. Offering the first officially approved interdisciplinary global health programs at the university since 2018, the Center for African Studies is happy to co-sponsor this conference to further understanding, research and publication in global health.
The conference series was commissioned by former President Charles J. Dougherty as an endowed academic event. Current University President, Ken Gormley, continues to inspire excellence in support of the Spiritan mission as the conference series develops.
The conference has three goals:
- Provide a scholarly opportunity to engage established and emerging research on the conference topic
- Foster interdisciplinary discourse on each topic, such as science, health, philosophy, religion, and policy
- Enlighten public awareness and discussion of the conference topic
