Leprosy and stigma

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

The annotated bibliography on leprosy and stigma, compiled by Jo Weaver at Emory University in the USA has now been completed. A link to it will follow soon. Building on the the results of this work, the Lepra Stichting (Netherlands Leprosy Relief) has provided funding for a further bibliographical study of stigma. This work will be carried out by Beatriz Miranda, a sociologist currently at the University of Leeds in the UK. There will  be more information about this project in Innovia Newsletter number 11.
