Overview: The TMRU was established in 1956 with the goal to deliver high quality research and service that eventually addressed regional and global issues related to malnutrition. The TMRU is one of the Units under the Caribbean Institute of Health Research (CAIHR) formerly known as the Topical Medicine Research Institute (TMRI). The TMRU has revolutionised the management and care of malnutrition and was the first to develop a practical manual for the World Health Organization (WHO) on the management of malnutrition. The work of this Unit has influenced policy and practice globally. During the lecture Professor Jackson who played a seminal role in the TMRU’s accomplishments, will take us on a historical journey of the Unit and its mission. Keynote Speaker: Prof Allan Jackson, Former Director, Tropical Metabolism Research Unit (TMRU) Participants include: Prof Dale Webber, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal, The UWI, Mona; Prof Marvin Reid, Director, CAIHR |

| Friday February 8 | 10:00AM - 11:00AM | LECTURE |
Overview: Twenty six years on, Pswarayi laments that from a full complement of one hundred and twenty states, only twelve made the attendance of the Venezuelan summit. At the heart of the attrition in attendance and waning interest is the notion of colonialism being outdated and a relic of a bygone era. This presentation argues, in the vogue of Fanonian thinkers like Sylvia Wynter that the current dereliction of the non-aligned movement is rooted – like the failure of the black power movement of the 1960’s – in the confusion and displacement of transcendental phenomenology with phenomenological psychology and the resulting – constricting - hegemonic dialectic of developed versus developing world. This water-as-metissage tropic analysis will be carried out in the context of the postcolonial experiences of Jamaica and Cuba Presenter: Dr Horace Williams, Lecturer, Jamaica Theological Seminary |
