One Health Social Sciences (OHSS)

Hello Everyone!
COVID-19 has reminded us that operationalizing One Health calls for an understanding of the social drivers of human, animal, and environmental health. The OHSS Leadership Team has been strategically planning on how to more actively engage those interested in social sciences and One Health. A Webinar is being planned to disseminate OHSS work being conducted worldwide and we are initiating a new call for interest in OHSS Workgroups.
Please see details below and feel free to share with your colleagues.
All the best!

OHSS welcomes Dr. Séverine Thys
to the Leadership Team
Severine considers herself a One Health (OH) anthropologist. She started her academic career within the OH movement in 2009 as an anthropo-logist in the animal Health Department of the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM), Antwerp, where she served as co-investigator in three FP7 EU projects (ICONZ, ADVANZ, NEXTGEN), coordinated a strategic network on Zoonoses and Neglected Diseases aiming at fostering intersectoral collaboration and promoted the OH concept among ITM institutional partners. As a lecturer on qualitative methodologies in several OH master programs in Belgium and abroad, she continues building bridges by actively developing activities for the Belgian OH Network together with representatives of different ministries, universities, and civil society organizations.

The mission of OHSS is to strengthen the network of individuals who incorporate social science concepts and methods in research applications and commu-nity initiatives that link human, animal, and environ-mental health. In 2021 OHSS wishes to further engage with the OHSS community through active participation in work groups. Work groups provide an action-driven opportunity for professionals from the social sciences to work together with those from other disciplines to address a One Health topic. The purpose of this 5-minute survey is to identify your interest in participating in or leading an OHSS work group. Answers will be reported in aggregate form. We hope to hear from you. https://tinyurl.com/3y5rc2nj
