Achutha Menon Centre for Health Science Studies, Thiruvananthapuram: 13-14 August, 2015.

The Gender sub-theme group of the AROGYAM project organized a workshop on “Learning to do health equity research addressing multiple axes of inequalities” was organized during 13-14 August, 2015, in Trivandrum, India.

The workshop was meant for young scholars embarking on their research careers and interested in health equity issues, and also for more experienced researchers who have engaged with multiple axes of inequalities and who would like to enhance their understanding and methodological skills.

It was attended by 40 participants of which more than half were doctoral research students, and the rest included faculty from AROGYAM partner institutions as well as scholars from India and elsewhere engaged in health equity research.
