PhD Students Xu and Sullivan Receive DUCIGS Award

PhD students Hanzhang Xu and Brittney Sullivan received the Duke University Center for International & Global Studies (DUCIGS) "Working Groups on Global Issues" award for the 2016-2017 academic year. Their proposal entitled "Global Migration of Tuberculosis" will have access to funding of up to $1,000 over the course of the year.

Other students involved in the working group are Emily Esmaili with the Department of Science and Society, and Jaslyn Zhang with the Trinity School of Arts and Sciences.

Abstract: The purpose of this project is to assess how global migration affects tuberculosis (TB) prevalence. Our main outcome is to write a collaborative manuscript on global migration patterns and TB prevalence.  Additionally, we aim to develop an interdisciplinary working team for networking related to global migration and TB to build future partnerships and collaborations.
