"Wonderland" Photography Exhibition

tuftsigl — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 17:08:38 +0000

Wonderland is about the past and the future, about dissolution and transition, about how historical narratives can be found in neglected places. Using the site of the old Wonderland Amusement Park (now a T station and the last stop on the blue line) as a jumping off point, students in the fall semester course of the Program for Narrative and Documentary Practice of the Institute for Global Leadership explore places many usually drive by but rarely stop to see.

India, with a population of over 1.2 billion, has no national scheme to provide health care for its citizens. In 2011, the state government of Rajasthan, India implemented Mukhyamantri Nishulk Dava Yojana (MNDY), the Chief Minister’s Free Medicines Initiative for its population of more than 70 million. Providing free medicines through designated drug distribution centers, such as government and teaching hospitals, the plan was considered a success for the Congress Party that controlled the state’s government at the time.

More than Pain: Documenting Palliative Care in Kenya

jessiewallner — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 13:42:28 +0000

It is estimated that more than six billion people worldwide lack access to adequate pain relief. Opioid analgesics, including morphine, are considered essential medicines by the World Health Organization, yet 85 percent of the world’s population consumes just seven percent of the global annual use of pain medications. It is estimated that these low- and middle- income countries account for 70 percent of cancer deaths and 99 percent of HIV/AIDS deaths, two of the most common illnesses that result in intense, end-of-life pain.

Documenting INEQUITY

tuftsigl — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 01:50:57 +0000

Economic inequality – the gap between the rich and everyone else – is growing worldwide. Many argue that this gap also gives rise to inequity – a powerful disparity in fairness, equal opportunity and social justice. In the fall of 2013, the Program for Narrative and Docu- mentary Practice introductory class was given a six-week assignment to tell a story about this issue locally. This exhibition is the result of their work. The mass media inundates us with economic information on unemployment rates, fiscal policies, and political impasse.
