Join our host Demetria Tsoutouras and guest Alison Humphrey on Unpacking AMR, as we explore how art and storytelling can complement evidence-informed policymaking.

In this episode of Unpacking AMR, Daniela Corno speaks with Dr. Clare Chandler and Dr. Susan Nayiga to unpack how AMR is woven into everyday infrastructures, shifting our focus from microbes to the systems that make us dependent on antimicrobials.

In the second episode of the “New Conceptions to Manage AMR” series, we explore a new perspective, looking at antimicrobial resistance through the lens of urban political ecology (or UPE).

Today, we’re kicking off a special edition of Unpacking AMR, shining light on new conceptions put forward by social scientists with the goal of strengthening the next iteration of the Global Action Plan (GAP) on AMR. These perspectives can help to move the GAP towards a more inclusive, One Health approach to identify important AMR challenges and the solutions needed to address them.

In this episode of Unpacking AMR, we explore the landmark Political Declaration adopted at the 79th United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance. We look at how the Political Declaration came into fruition, what new tools it provides policymakers with, and the gaps that still need to be addressed.  

Join us in a conversation with Julianne Piper, Carly Ching, Isaac Weldon, and Jeremy Grimshaw while they highlight how a collaborative, One Health approach can help safeguard our global pool of antimicrobials for future generations.  

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Susan Rogers Van Katwyk and Dr. Mathieu Poirier as we dive deeper into what antimicrobial resistance really means, how AMR expands beyond human health to animals and infrastructure, and some ways that researchers are currently working with a global, interdisciplinary approach to address this issue.

Our podcast focuses on two key areas of drug resistance research: The SAFE AMR Governance Partnership and the AMR Policy Accelerator.
