Globalization and Infectious Disease
About
The Globalization and Infectious Disease working group brought together scholars from epidemiology, geography, global and community health, international affairs, nursing, public health and other academic programs to address the complex determinants and the societal impacts of infectious disease. These issues included the widespread impacts of disease burden in the developing world and emerging concerns about global public health security. The core working group was a springboard for scholarship that advanced the excellence, visibility, and integration of George Mason University’s public health and globalization programs, and promoted interdisciplinary research on these important topics across the campus.
