The Office of Faculty Enrichment and Engagement is pleased to offer all faculty and staff access to the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) Winter 2024 Webinar Series “One World, One Health: Tackling the Global Health Crisis.”

Join this Thursday, Feb. 1, noon - 1 p.m. ET for the fifth session in the series:

Refracting Lenses - Seeing Women of Colour in Global Health

In this talk Dr. Thirusha Naidu explores perspectives on women of colour as patients, clinicians, students, participants researchers and leaders in global health. Through her lens as a woman of colour in global health and a clinician in the global south, she explores her own lived experience as a researcher, clinician and academic. She reflects on what she learns and continues to learn about the lived experiences of women of colour as participants, patients, and students in global health. She scaffolded her understanding of these refractions of lived experience through a Black Feminist Decolonial Theory.
