The Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values (ACHEEV) warmly invites you to our 2024 symposium; “Engaging individuals, engaging communities: Equity, marginalisation and inclusion in health”.
This year our symposium will offer a valuable opportunity to explore innovative research methods that engage directly with individuals and communities to address health challenges affecting marginalized groups.
Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines—including bioethics, psychology, public health, digital health, sociology, social work, and social policy—we will examine both conceptual and methodological issues in health research.
Key topics include inclusive research practices and co-production, balancing the needs of individuals and communities, and understanding identities within the context of intersectionality. Join us in these important discussions aimed at advancing health research for those most in need.
