Punk film or filmmaking cultures for women in the 1970s/1980s - Rachel Garfield in conversation with
Addressing the challenges of implementing evidence-based prioritisation in global health
Global health requires evidence-based approaches to improve health and decrease inequalities. In a roundtable discussion between health practitioners, funders, academics and policy-makers, we recognised key areas for improvement to deliver better-informed, sustainable and equitable global health practices. These focus on considering information-sharing mechanisms and developing evidence-based frameworks that take an adaptive function-based approa…
Essential public health functions
Can severity of a humanitarian crisis be quantified? Assessment of the Inform severity index
BACKGROUND: Those responding to humanitarian crises have an ethical imperative to respond most where the need is greatest. Metrics are used to estimate the severity of a given crisis. The INFORM Severity Index, one such metric, has become widely used to guide policy makers in humanitarian response decision making. The index, however, has not undergone critical statistical review. If imprecise or incorrect, the quality of decision making for human…
Dwoskin Is … Jewish
Dwoskin Is ... Jewish Rachel Garfield (bio) Stephen Dwoskin was an artist, filmmaker, writer, and key animator of the independent and experimental film scene in London, England, in the 1970s and 1980s. Best known as one of the founders of the London Film Makers Co-Op, Dwoskin worked across the borders and categories of film as well as those of art. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1939, he attended Parsons School of Art, working initially as a grap…
Stephen Dwoskin
It is perhaps well known that Stephen Dwoskin was a survivor of polio and made work that was in many ways defined by the lifelong legacy of that childhood event. The focus on the body and its subjectivities has other resonances that demonstrate deep roots of preoccupation to do with Dwoskin's cultural background that I aim to discuss in this article. Not explicitly explored in the film work, critically this aspect of his work has been ignored. Jo…
How can we strengthen the Joint External Evaluation
box The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions about the utility of the International Health Regulations (IHR) and the effectiveness of the Joint External Evaluation (JEE) for strengthening global health security.1 If we are to embark on further revisions to the JEE for measuring global health security, we need to re-examine its purpose and limitations. The JEE established four important norms:2 (1) normalising a transparent process to examine an…
Peggy Ahwesh, Steve McQueen and Russell T. Davis
In lockdown as I finished my five-year project, on women experimental filmmakers from the 1970s and 1980s, I have been focusing on this past time that formed me. Watching films by artist/filmmakers that I love has helped to keep my anger at the present at bay. A parallel journey back in time has been playing out on TV via the high-profile voices of Steve McQueen and Russell T. Davis. Steve McQueen’s series, Small Axe pays tribute to the Black com…
Deflationary tactics with the archive of life
This paper discusses art works by Suzanne Treister, Deborah Kass and Doug Fishbone. It considers the importance of their work for contemporary Jewish identity within the terms of wider conceptual questions that preoccupy contemporary art. These concerns are challenging the perceived structures of power, the “performance” of subjectivity and the questioning of authenticity. A deflationary aesthetic is central to the critique of these structures of…
Maximalism as a Cosmopolitan strategy in the art of Ruth Novaczek and Doug Fishbone
This article looks at the work of the experimental filmmaker Ruth Novaczek and the artist Doug Fishbone to think through the relationship between the cosmopolitan imagination, Jewishness and the visual arts. The author suggests through her analysis of their artwork that both artists proffer a cosmopolitan subject that arises out of their Jewish subjectivity. The author does this in different ways, discussing the artworks both in their various for…
The Stephen Dwoskin dossier
This dossier aims to consider the contribution Stephen Dwoskin and his work made to the development of film and its infrastructure in the UK from 1964 when he arrived in the London until his death in 2012. Dwoskin not only straddled different contexts and ideologies about film but advocated for the support of work in a wide variety of forms. Because of this he was not easily categorizeable. Much of the work analyzing his camera work and his contr…
Imagining Multicultural London
Snatch (Guy Ritchie, 2000) is a comic-book gangster film that can be seen to represent the backlash against perceived notions of political correctness in what is effectively a public-schoolboy fantasy of working-class life in East London. However, the film also delineates the limits of this backlash in its depiction of minorities as either contained or excess. This is highlighted through the comic-book genre itself as well as the characterization…
Improved Response to Disasters and Outbreaks by Tracking Population Movements with Mobile Phone Network Data
BACKGROUND: Population movements following disasters can cause important increases in morbidity and mortality. Without knowledge of the locations of affected people, relief assistance is compromised. No rapid and accurate method exists to track population movements after disasters. We used position data of subscriber identity module (SIM) cards from the largest mobile phone company in Haiti (Digicel) to estimate the magnitude and trends of popula…
Users' guides to the medical literature
The accurate interpretation of mortality surveys in humanitarian crises is useful for both public health responses and security responses. Recent examples suggest that few medical personnel and researchers can accurately interpret the validity of a mortality survey in these settings. Using an example of a mortality survey from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), we demonstrate important methodological considerations that readers should keep i…
Articulating a position through research
This paper takes the form of a case study and aims to raise key issues in the process of a practice-led PhD. The subject of study in the PhD was to research the problematics of an art practice exploring Jewish identity in Britain. The methodology included the making of video installations and contextual theoretical writing that encompassed cultural studies, film theory, critical theory and art history. The paper gives detailed examples of my meth…

Historical Overview of Children's Health Care Coverage
America's public health insurance programs reflect a deeply rooted commitment to caring for low-income families and children. This article chronicles the evolution of Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), two public programs designed to provide free or low-cost health coverage to low-income children who do not have access to private health insurance. Such a historical overview is key to understanding where the progra…

The Public Health Impact of Sanctions
Primary health care lessons from the Northeast of Brazil
Market-led economic reforms are usually viewed as being in conflict with government-stimulated socioeconomic development for disadvantaged groups. Nevertheless, Ceará, a poor state in the Northeast of Brazil, has since 1987 pursued both of those strategies simultaneously. One part of that approach has been a program of nurse-directed auxiliary health workers serving about 5 million people--almost all the persons outside the capital city and half …
The impact of the economic crisis and the US embargo on health in Cuba
OBJECTIVES: This paper examines the combined effects of a severe economic decline since 1989 and a tightening of the US embargo in 1992 on health and health care in Cuba. METHODS: Data from surveillance systems for nutrition, reportable diseases, and hospital diagnoses were reviewed. These sources were supplemented with utilization data from the national health system and interviews with health leaders. RESULTS: Changes in Cuba include declining …
Health services reforms in revolutionary Nicaragua
Before the Nicaraguan revolution of 1979, access to health services was largely limited to the affluent sectors of the urban population and the minority of workers with social security coverage. Repeated attempts at reform by organized medicine were ineffective. Since the revolution, a tremendous expansion in health services has occurred. The national health system receives approximately one-third of its funds from the social security system. Ste…
Health-related outcomes of war in Nicaragua
Since 1983, war in Nicaragua has slowed improvements in health which had developed rapidly from 1979-82. The rate of war-related deaths among Nicaraguans now exceeds that of the United States citizens in either the Vietnam War or World War II. Forty-two of the 84 documented war-related casualties among Nicaraguan health workers have been deaths. This high case fatality rate reflects the targeting of health workers by contra troops. The number of …
The impact of economic sanctions on health and human rights in Haiti, 1991-1994
OBJECTIVES: This report examines the impact of an economic embargo from 1991 to 1994 on health, well-being, and human rights in Haiti. METHODS: Data from surveillance systems for nutrition, reportable diseases, and hospital diagnoses were combined with survey data and interviews with affected women, governmental representatives, diplomats, and staff of nongovernmental organizations. RESULTS: Changes included declining income, rising unemployment,…
Popular participation in health in Nicaragua
The Nicaraguan revolution has given priority to health, and promotes community participation in order to improve health. In pre-revolutionary Nicaragua public health programmes were plagued by misplaced emphasis, paternalistic attitudes, and lack of follow-through. Working with community organizations and volunteers, post-revolutionary efforts have addressed major public health concerns such as vaccination, sanitation, nutrition and breast feedin…
