This interdisciplinary seminar series on Informal Settlements and Health will explore the complex relationships between informal urbanization and health, with a focus on urban areas across Latin America. The series brings together faculty, students, and invited speakers from public health, urban planning, and the social sciences to examine how structural, spatial, and environmental factors intersect with health outcomes in informal settlements and other precarious urban contexts.
The speaker is Nelson Guilherme Machado Pinto, an Adjunct Professor at the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
