The workshop ‘Rare Diseases, Global Health, and Social Sciences: Counterbalancing Biomedical Reductionism’ aims to bring together, enhance and further develop social science and medical humanities approaches to the globalizing RD field by addressing these challenges and concerns that include social acceptance, equality, inclusion, political recognition, empowerment, and geographical and cultural considerations.
The AGEM is a non-profit association founded in Hamburg in 1970 with the aim of promoting cooperation between medicine, the related natural sciences and the historical and social sciences.
