"My goal today is to discuss the processes of social integration of temporary workers from Spain into Germany so that the panel can compare these experiences with those of the Hispanic/Latino workers in the U.S...I am especially interested (as you saw in the introduction) in looking for the links between the more subjective aspects of social integration and the macrostructural conditions (juridical, political, economical, etc.) of the lives of the immigrants."

"I will talk about the power of the human spirit epitomized in Fannie Lou Hamer and her legacy of activism and social work, characterized by indomitable will and tenaciousness. Fannie Lou Hamer has been referred to as a life-sized hero because she inspires us to believe that each of us can cause change, can act from conviction and step out on the promise. Indeed, it was her very ordinariness that allowed people to see themselves more clearly. Her many successes, some of which will be outlined here, give us courage to do likewise. However, in order to fully understand the strength of Fannie Lou Hamer’s spirit and her contributions to humanity, we must understand the era in which she lived and, specifically, the conditions imposed on her by her socio-economic position in the Deep South, in the America of the 1960s."

“The perception of essential health care as an economic commodity rather than a public good is a barrier to fundamental change in health financing in the United States.

“The perception of essential health care as an economic commodity rather than a public good is a barrier to fundamental change in health financing in the United States. Perhaps it goes too much against the grain of American political culture, with its strong sense of individualism and its inherent anti-statism, to expect that an overwhelming majority of Americans will suddenly view health care as a social service. But it is possible that this country could one day leapfrog that step by concluding, through a court decision, that certain essential health services are a right of citizenship and must be provided to everyone on the same basis.”

“Today, I aim to discuss the importance of human contact and communication in the delivery of effective patient-centred health care. How can we as physicians, working in health systems that are becoming increasingly process driven and disease-focused, maintain human dignity and a patient sensitive approach? I will argue that traditional values in family practice still offer us the opportunity to meet and focus on the modern needs of individuals and communities rather than on the needs of the health care industry.”

"Describing financing of health care systems in Europe with its now 27 member states is a challenge that requires the stating of criteria against which the different systems might be evaluated. The evaluation cannot be restricted to examining financial resources, but has to include at least the basic benefit performances of health schemes (plans). The main countries to be examined here are France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and—despite the fact that it is not an EU member—Switzerland."
