Subject: [Announcements] Public Health and the City
Dear Friends:
PUKAR cordially invites its Associates, Advisors, and friends to a
discussion on "Public Health and the City", with presentations by:
NEHA MADHIWALA
PhD Candidate, Mumbai University Dept of Sociology
Senior Research Officer, CEHAT, Mumbai
SVATI SHAH
PhD Candidate, Columbia University Depts of Anthropology and Public
Health, U.S.A.
NEHA MADHIWALA has been pursuing her PhD at the Department of
Sociology, University of Mumbai since June 2000. She has worked as a
senior research officer in the Centre for Enquiry in Health and
Allied Themes (CEHAT), Mumbai between 1996 and 2000, and from 2001
onwards. She will share her experiences of working on health issues
in Mumbai. Urban health issues in India fall between the cracks of
public health policy. There is no clear model into which one can
situate the existing reality of India's cities. To unravel the
complexity of urban health, one must understand the paradox created
by a medical sector which exists in a highly developed market --
which mesmerises professionals and lay-persons alike, but whose
dynamic excludes the most vulnerable, and makes it impossible for
larger community-based public health solutions to emerge.
SVATI SHAH is a PhD candidate in Columbia University's joint
programme in Public Health and Anthropology. Her dissertation work is
on migration, sex work and gender in the Mumbai construction
industry. This paper will provide a brief description of preliminary
findings on sex work among women in the construction industry in Navi
Mumbai. Intersections with health issues on the ground will be
discussed in the context of the growing NGO market for HIV/AIDS
related interventions among poor migrant labourers. The field
research will also be connected with issues of sexuality, agency and
broad categories such as "feminization of migrancy" being adopted by
international funders and the Breton Woods organizations.
