Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases
Health, Human Rights and Foreign Policy
Dr. Kaveh Khoshnood was awarded the Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund through the MacMillan Center
to coordinate a “Health and Foreign Policy” lecture series. The purpose of this series is to promote a vision that health can
and should have a more prominent role in international relations and foreign policy discussions. This initiative brings together
faculty and students from many disciplines, including medicine, nursing, public health, social science, economics, law, and social
activism.
Additionally, Dr. Khoshnood has co–developed and co-taught the “Human Rights and the HIV/AIDS Crisis” course for master’s
level students in the International Law Program at the University for Peace. This course examines the human rights dimensions
of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The course explores human rights case law involving HIV/AIDS issues, international organizations
and the transnational aspects of HIV/AIDS and human rights, the epidemiology and preventive strategies of HIV/AIDS, and
ultimately how all of these topics are linked to human rights.
