A Place without Time: Health, Development, and Climate Change in Kiribati.

This is, without doubt, the most remote Podcast that you'll hear on the series.  Dr. Bob Huish joins Dr. Sharon McLennan & Cristine Werle in Kiribati, a country in the Pacific Ocean that is only 2 - 3 meters above sea level.  The three met to learn about Cuban Medical Cooperation in the Pacific,  and quickly became aware of the serious health and development challenges that impact Kiribati today.   Cristine Werle is a Master’s Student at Massey Univeristy in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Her research focuses on Cuban cooperation in the Pacific, particularly in Kiribati. She conducted field work in Kiribati in 2019 Sharon McLennan is a Senior Lecturer in Development Studies at Massey University. She was awarded a Marsden Foundation grant on South-South Cooperation form the Royal Society of New Zealand. Sharon has a background in health – trained as a registered nurse and having worked in Asia, Central America and the Pacific. Follow Dr. Bob on Twitter: @ProfessorHuish
