Join us for the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Global Health Summit: Decolonizing Global Health Education, which will be held virtually over two half-days, May 25-26.
The term "decolonization" has recently become the focus of conversations within global health in prominent universities in the U.S. and the global south. The summit is an opportunity to reflect on our strong educational partnerships around the world and how UMB can continue to develop our global education offerings in ways that put bidirectional learning, mutual benefits, diversity, equity, and inclusion at the center of our work.
In addition to high-level inspirational keynote speakers, the centerpiece of this summit is a series of facilitated conversations between peer groups of students and trainees facilitated by our faculty and partners. Cross-national groups across multiple professions will discuss a series of questions around the impact of colonization and racism on their profession specifically and global health generally. Students will report the reflections of their conversations at the summit and recommendations for the future of how global health should be envisioned and taught.
