Assoc Prof Norah Campbell & Student, Amulya Sanagavaram, Trinity Business School
This presentation explores how student reading groups and student audits of Trinity's rich open lectures/public talks are used to develop students’ skills in tackling national and global health challenges. As part of a 20 credit capstone module with Business students in Senior Sophister year, the Reading Group method is used in the first semester to immerse students in industries such as, ultra-processed foods, alcohol, tobacco and opioids, and their corporate political activities.

Dr Campbell's research is in the commercial determinants of health: measuring the ways business activities - subsidies, taxation, lobbying, marketing, product design and public relations - can impact the population and planetary health.
She is especially interested in where the problem of over-consumption ends and the problem of over-production begins.
