40/n Dr Mathew George: Inderdisciplinarity is necessary in public health yet there is a caveat that it maybe subsumed by dominant disciplines. The question arises how are the questions addressed in public health different from the questions of other disciplines?

50/n "How can I bring the street into the classroom and how do I take the classroom to the street? ... How do we learn from local and individual philosophers? ... How do we learn from the silicosis andolan? How do all of these inform our teaching?"
