UMB Global Health Summit: Decolonizing Global Health Education

May 25 - 26

9 a.m. - 1 p.m. EDT

The term “decolonization” has recently become the focus of conversations within global health. Diverse voices worldwide are now calling for a re-examination of assumptions and practices underpinning global health education and practice.

The UMB Global Health Summit: Decolonizing Global Health Education is a direct response to these calls and an opportunity to rethink and reflect on the theories, processes, and methods of global health education.

We hope you can join us and other UMB faculty and students to co-create a shared new vision to guide UMB’s global health work toward greater equity.

Thought-provoking keynote presentations, as well as interprofessional panels of students/trainees, faculty members, and other experts from UMB and UMB’s close global partners, will provide the basis for the discussions and reflections aimed at the development of actionable ideas and recommendations for decolonizing global health education.
