This talk explores how the intersection of political violence, morality and capitalism can turn healthcare markets into instruments of exclusion, shaping where people can safely access care. It also examines how individuals navigate these hostile environments—by resisting, negotiating access, or seeking care elsewhere.Your Speaker:Dr Rohan Venkatraman, a self-described "accidental academic", completed his Masters and PhD in marketing and consumer culture at the University of Melbourne in 2021. Now a lecturer at Deakin University, his research focuses on the relationship between contemporary capitalism and everyday life. He is especially interested in how politics and capitalism intersect, and the ways in which that intersection shapes the lived experiences of marginalised people (with an emphasis on experiences queer and LGBTQIA+ people), as well as how that intersection engenders resistance.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PMDoors open and arrival🕑: 07:00 PMSpeaker starts - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/melbourne/healthcare-wars-when-politics-turns-markets-into-weapons/100001985500508469 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 27.78, max: 27.78, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Melbourne - **state**: VI - **country**: Australia - **location**: Brick Lane Market | Brick Lane Brewing Co - **lat**: -37.8076897 - **long**: 144.9582361 - **full address**: Brick Lane Market | Brick Lane Brewing Co, 466 Queen Street, Melbourne, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Healthcare Wars: When Politics Turns Markets Into Weapons - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/6ff99f4eee22a4c6319deff6daf499007a814d34060b26da2031eed644a11398-rimg-w1200-h675-dc0e213a-gmir.jpg?v=1774102930 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Healthcare Wars: When Politics Turns Markets Into Weapons being held? - **A:** Healthcare Wars: When Politics Turns Markets Into Weapons takes place on Tue, 02 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 02 Jun, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Brick Lane Market | Brick Lane Brewing Co, 466 Queen Street, Melbourne, Australia. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Healthcare Wars: When Politics Turns Markets Into Weapons? - **A:** Tickets for Healthcare Wars: When Politics Turns Markets Into Weapons are priced at AUD 28 per person.
