According to Abimbola and Pai, "global health is a discipline that holds within itself a deep contradiction—global health was birthed in supremacy, but its mission is to reduce or eliminate inequities globally.”

 

Join Sakiko Fukuda-Parr in conversation with Seye AbimbolaManjari Mahajan and Eugene Richardson on how race, power structures, finance capitalism, and colonialism explain why global health ideas, practices and structures perpetuate health inequalities.

 

There will be time for Q&A following the lecture.
