Health Inc Newsletter-1 (16.07.2011 )

An introduction to the Health Inc research consortium, to the Health Inc newsletter, and a very first introduction to the concept of social exclusion. A quote of Bertrand Russell to complete, and an unidentified turtle on top.

Health Inc Newsletter-2  (23.07.2011)

An overview of the term social exclusion traveling South, and concrete examples from the Health Inc study countries: India, Ghana and Senegal. Food for thought from BR Ambedkar to conclude, and the turtle’s name revealed.

Health Inc News letter-3 (03.08.2011)

Discussing social inclusion, the twinned concept of social exclusion, with illustrations from Senegal, Ghana and India. Peru’s president is given the last word (actually his first); the turtle keeps quiet.

Health Inc Newsletter-4  (12.03.2012)

The fourth newsletter contains two interesting articles on conducting research among the socially excluded. Both articles talk about why and how should excluded people be involved in planning and implementing the study. This is important if one is to conduct ethical research that makes exclusionary processes visible and affects policy.

The newsletters can also be accessed at www.healthinc.eu/publications.html.
