Kathryn Robertson Memorial Lecture in Global Health Video
Dr. Anne-Marie Slaughter's lecture titled "The Health of Our World" commenced with the following words:
"It is a true honor to give this inaugural lecture in memory of Katie Robertson. As we just heard very movingly from her father, Katie was a young woman who lived fully and passionately in her too short life. She was vibrant, a word that reoccurs over and over in descriptions of her, and a word of course, that means full of life. Anyone who loves to dance as much as she did, and particularly dances like Tango or Salsa which smolder and whirl with sensuality and intense emotion, distilled into disciplined movement, touches the vein of sheer joy and abandon that is expressed in dancing in every culture and is part of our shared humanity. It is that connection across cultures, that awareness of interconnected humanity, that will be the theme of my lecture today…"
Anne-Marie Slaughter, J.D., D.Phil.

Read lecture review: A bold new vision of global health
Anne-Marie Slaughter, J.D., D.Phil. is the Bert G. Kerstetter '66 Professor of Politics & International Affairs and Former Dean, Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs, Princeton University.
As Director of Policy Planning at the U.S. State Department from January 2009-2011, Dr. Slaughter played a key role in helping to make global health a much more central part of U.S. foreign policy. That was one of the outcomes of the recently published Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (http://www.state.gov/s/dmr/qddr/), which she helped to lead. Dr. Slaughter will talk about the new global health initiative and relate it to a society-focused approach to global affairs.
