Introduction to Decolonising Global Health

The Irish Global Health Network and ESTHER Ireland held an online event 'Decolonising Global Health: An Interactive Introduction’.
‘What is Decolonising Global Health? How do I begin reflecting on and engaging with the issue?’
Global health is at a crossroads, trying to reconcile its current aims to promote health equity and well-being for all, with its colonial origins and traits. As the Decolonising Global Health discussion and movement continue to build, it is important to become engaged, think critically, and reflect on our positions within Global Health. And it is never too late to start!
This 2-hour event provided an introduction to the concept and issue of Decolonising Global Health, through a brief presentation by Manasvini Moni, which was followed by an interactive workshop on Reflexivity and Positionality with Dr Brittney S Mengistu, post-doctoral researcher at Vrije University.
A recording of the initial introductory session is now available.
The interactive workshop portion was only available to those who attended on the day. If you missed it, keep an eye out for future Decolonising Global Health events in 2024!
