This award supports an interdisciplinary workshop on avian influenzas to be held at Harvard University. The workshop is being convened by scientists from the fields of medical anthropology, public health, and political science, who have a wealth of experience with social and medical epidemiology of disease and international health policy. Emphasis will be on a biosocial framework that seeks to integrate biological, cultural, social, political, economic and agricultural perspectives. The workshop will bring together specialists across various fields to examine the local and global dimensions of the Avian flus phenomenon and the social consequences of a worldwide pandemic. Workshop participants will include junior and senior scholars in the fields of virology, epidemiology, agronomy, animal science, social and cultural anthorpology, political science,history, and social and health policy. Scholars will come from many institutions across the United States, as well as China, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, and Europe.The workshop's objectives are:1. To provide an integrative, cross-disciplinary look at biosocial issues that contribute to avian and other influenza infections and their spread, beginning with an undertanding of the lived experience of intensive husbandry of chickens, ducks, geese, and swine in South China, Thailand, Vietnam, and other Asian societies.2. To better underestand the institutional and governmental issues that have faced societies in responding to Asian flus and will face them in an even more pressing way in the future if the H5N1 strain of avian flu, or some other flu virus, becomes pandemic.3. To better understand the social and political consequences for societies should pendmic occur with high mortality and morbidity.4. To better understand cultural, political, institutional, professional, and economic differences in the sources of and responses to Asian flus.

该奖项支持将在哈佛大学举行的关于禽流感的跨学科研讨会。该研讨会由医学人类学，公共卫生和政治学领域的科学家召集，他们在疾病和国际健康政策的社会和医学流行病学方面拥有丰富的经验。重点将放在一个生物社会框架上，该框架试图整合生物，文化，社会，政治，经济和农业观点。 该研讨会将召集各个领域的专家，以研究禽类现象的本地和全球层面以及全球大流行的社会后果。研讨会的参与者将包括病毒学，流行病学，农艺学，动物科学，社会和文化词学，政治学，历史以及社会和健康政策领域的初级和高级学者。 学者将来自美国的许多机构，以及中国，泰国，越南，土耳其和欧洲。研讨会的目标是：1。为了提供综合的跨学科观察，以促进禽和其他流感感染及其传播的生物社会问题，首先是对中国南部，泰国南部的鸡，鸭子，鹅和猪的繁殖经验的经验开始。越南和其他亚洲社会2。为了更好地理解在对亚洲Flus做出反应时面临的机构和政府问题，如果H5N1的H5N1菌株或其他一些流感病毒成为大流行3。 为了更好地了解社会的社会和政治后果，应该以高死亡率和发病率发生悬而未决。4。更好地理解在亚洲Flus的来源和反应中的文化，政治，制度，专业和经济差异。
