Decolonizing Public Health (in Europe and elsewhere)

The first webinar will be an introduction to the topic, explaining why decolonizing public health is necessary and giving an overview of key concepts and historical foundations of the field.

The next three webinars will bring a critical examination of the supposed neutrality, objectivity, and apolitical nature of epidemiology and microbiology, explore positionality, and discuss strategies for change and sustained reflection.

Each webinar will last 1.5h and is planned to be highly interactive, with case studies to provide examples for the concepts discussed.

Science Storytelling : The experimentalist

The board is happy to welcome The Experimentalist as the co-host of our webinar on Science Storytelling. ‘Know your audience’ is catered towards helping scientists make a listener-centric conversation, by concentrating more on how than what they would like to present. We know your supervisors and scientific peers take care of what you present. They provide feedback on science. The webinar aims to simply aid you in making it more accessible to your audience.
