'Burning Issue' public lecture
Affliction by parasites is mostly controlled for the wealthy, but for millions of the world's
poor they are debilitating or even lethal. There are high hopes for the new mass medication programmes but treatment has not always proceeded as planned, and in some cases there has been fierce local resistance. Tim Allen will examine the facts, the failures and the future of our fight against one of humankind's most endemic invisible enemies.
Tim Allen is professor of development anthropology at LSE.
Come and be part of a studio audience for this new and interactive lecture series. The lectures include audience debate and are being filmed on 12 and 13 May for television . The full list of Burning Issue lectures is available to view. Free food and drink will be provided in the interval between lectures.

This event is free and open to all however a ticket is required. One ticket per person can be requested on Wednesday 4 May. LSE students and staff are able to collect one ticket from the New Academic Building SU shop, located on the Kingsway side of the building from 10.00am on Wednesday 4 May. Members of the public, LSE staff and alumni can request one ticket via the online ticket request form which will be live on the event weblisting after 10.00am on Wednesday 4 May. The ticket request form will be online for around an hour from going live. If after an hour we have received more requests than there are tickets available, the line will be closed, and tickets will be allocated on a random basis to those requests received. If after an hour we have received fewer requests than tickets available, the ticket line will stay open until all tickets have been allocated. Due to changes on the LSE website we can no longer control exactly when a page will update, so it may take a few minutes to appear. You may need to refresh your browser in order to view this link.
