Journal Club

The Southgate Journal Club is an initiative of the Southgate Institute, which aims to engage researchers and assist them to conduct and publish good quality research relevant to the social determinants of health.

The Journal Club provides a forum for researchers to come together and participate in active discussion, in order to:

  • analyse recent literature relevant to the social determinants of health in a critical way
  • examine methodological approaches, including examination of innovative, and cross-disciplinary methods
  • consider lessons and insights for writing our own papers.
