Sir Michael Marmot, a preeminent epidemiologist renowned for his work exposing the social determinants of health, leads this event that introduces a new series from The Lancet, produced by the Case of the Human research project at the Neubauer Collegium. The “Cases in Global Social Medicine” series centers real clinical cases from around the world that together form a practical social medicine toolkit. Each case traces a clinical course shaped by social forces, introduces a social theory concept to make sense of those forces, and distills actionable implications for clinicians, public health practitioners, health system leaders, and policymakers.
Designed for scholars and practitioners of medicine, public health, the social sciences, and related fields, the event emphasizes how social analysis can sharpen diagnosis, guide care delivery, and inform structural intervention across clinical settings. The program includes a presentation of cases from Japan and Thailand, a keynote by Sir Marmot, and an audience Q&A.
