First Annual Research Training Workshop
May 13-14, 2010, UC San Diego

The COEMH’s first annual, interdisciplinary Research Training Workshop served as a showcase for research being undertaken by graduate students and recent postdoctoral scholars throughout the UC system relating to migration and health. UC faculty members served as discussants, providing expert feedback on the students’ work and commenting on its relevance to their own research. All ten UC campuses and eight academic disciplines were represented among the presenters and discussants. A selection of papers presented at the workshop will be published electronically as COEMH Working Papers and edited for publication as a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal. A prize for the best paper will also be awarded.

Workshop Organizing Committee: Wayne Cornelius (UCSD), Coordinator; Frank Bean (UCI), Claire Brindis (UCSF), Robin DeLugan (UC Merced)
