The Ebling Library for the Health Sciences will be hosting the National Library of Medicine Traveling Exhibit, Against the Odds: Making a Difference in Global Health, from October 25th to December 3rd, 2010. In conjunction with this important exhibit, which will be displayed in the Health Sciences Learning Center Atrium, we will also host a photographic display in the 3rd floor Ebling Galleries.
We are inviting UW–Madison students, faculty, and staff who have worked or studied in a global health setting to submit up to five photographs for the exhibit. A reception will be held during the opening week of the Against the Odds exhibit. This is your chance to share your work and the vision of UW’s Center for Global Health: “to promote interdisciplinary education, research and partnerships to address health issues that transcend national boundaries, and to contribute to sustainable health improvements for populations throughout the world.”
These photos will be used for educational, artistic purposes; therefore we are not requiring photographic subject release forms- however, the expectation is that these photos are taken in a respectful, non-exploitative manner. Please refer to these Unite for Sight guidelines as a template for your photographic endeavors.
