 Global Health: Frameworks of Power\n\nIn Rethinking Global Health\, Prof
 essor Rochelle Burgess reflects on and analyses the working of power in 
 the global health field\, with an emphasis on understanding what power p
 roduces. In doing so\, the book asks the pivotal questions of 'who is gl
 obal health for?' and 'what is it that limits our ability to meet people
  where they are? In this public lecture\, Professor Burgess will reflect
  on what the two frameworks in her book – the Matrix of Domination in gl
 obal health\, and Transformative Global Health - have to offer us in a p
 eriod radical transformation in the field. She will discuss pathways for
  action in a new era of global health which centres community narratives
  and social justice in these turbulent times.\n\nAbout the speaker : Roc
 helle Burgess is Professor of Global Mental Health and Social Justice\, 
 UCL's first chair in Global Mental Health. She is interested in the prom
 otion of community-led approaches to mental health and health improvemen

 nity-led efforts to address the impacts of broader development issues su

 gh community mobilisation and activism. For the past decade she has focu
