Reviews
"""In Attention and Responsibility in Global Health, Vanderslott brings important new perspectives to the concept of 'neglect', using tools from economics and history as well as anthropology and epidemiology. She elegantly unpicks how a policy problem is formed and raised in profile, and how solutions of various types come to be offered. As a scientist who has attempted advocacy for a highly neglected condition, I found this a fascinating guide to the conscious and subconscious framing of neglect that has contributed to the successes and the disappointments of the 'Neglected Tropical Disease' brand."" Gail Davey, University of Sussex"
