LIVESTREAM Decolonising Global Health

“To make global health truly global is to make global health truly local.” Seye Abimbola, Editor-in-Chief, BMJ Global Health

Does Global Health still mimic our colonial past? Are we perpetuating historical biases and disparities in the field? Is the transfer of knowledge, skill and funding in Global Health unfairly unidirectional? How can we dismantle skewed power structures to make Global Health truly local?

If these are questions that pique your interest, then join the School of Population Health for a politically charged conversation on what it means to truly decolonise global health and what we as a university can do to disrupt the system.

Speakers:

• Seye Abimbola, Editor-in-Chief of BMJ Global Health, and Senior Lecturer, University of Sydney
• Augustine Asante, Senior Lecturer, School of Population Health, UNSW Sydney
• Faye McMillan, Associate Professor, Senior Atlantic Fellow in Social Equity, Charles Sturt University
• Lyn Morgain, Chief Executive, Oxfam Australia
• Sabina Faiz Rashid, Professor and Dean of the BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University, Dhaka, Bangladesh
• To be chaired by Rebecca Ivers, Head of School, School of Population Health, UNSW Sydney
