TUM Global Dialogue Series
Panel discussion: Decolonizing Global Health
Event location
Online, Zoom
Public event
How can global health become more equitable? Research on global health has historically tended to sideline voices and perspectives from the global South. This often perpetuated prevailing global power imbalances and hindered the development of contextualized health interventions. Inequities in health persist.
Strategies for equitable collaboration
Today, many researchers think that the decolonization of global health is essential for promoting sustainability in healthcare interventions. It is precisely decolonization of global health that the TUM San Francisco Dialogue "Decolonizing Global Health - Considerations of North-South Relations for Equitable Global Health Collaboration" addresses.
The panelists will explore challenges and propose strategies to foster equitable collaborations between researchers and partners in the Global South and North.
