In the Fall of 2001, the Henry R. Luce Professorship Program at Tufts launched a series of seminars and related activities in order to encourage discourse on cross-cutting issues in humanitarian and public health policy and practice. The aim is to provide a participatory forum for inter-disciplinary and cross-sectoral discussion of current topics of interest and concern among scholars and practitioners alike.
