Join us for a webinar on “Bioethics and Global Health: In Search of Common Ground”.

The Black and Brown in Bioethics network aims to expand opportunities for community engagement for people of colour both within the UK and around the world. This webinar, organised by Matimba, will focus specifically on the divide – but also the similarities – between the ‘Global North’ and ‘Global South’, and aim to identify areas of learning and convergence that should become the focus of future collaboration and development. We are very excited that we will be joined by Caesar Atuire (University of Ghana and University of Oxford), Sharon Kaur (University of Malaya), and Isabella Aboderin (Perivoli Africa Research Centre). Rishita Nandagiri (King’s College London) will be chairing the discussion.

The timings for the webinar (all given as BST/UTC+1) are:

• Introduction (11:00-11:10) – Rishita Nandagiri (Chair), on a time for new North-South relationships in global health and bioethics

• Talk 1 (11:10-11:30) – Caesar Atuire, on enriching current bioethical discourse through African philosophy

• Talk 2 (11:30-11:50) – Sharon Kaur, on developing a South East Asian Bioethics Network

• Break (11:50-12:00)

• Talk 3 (12:00-12:20) – Isabella Aboderin, on the imperative of transformative global North-Africa research collaborations

• Panel discussion (12:20-12:50) – Chair and speakers respond to questions submitted by attendees, and address the question “what should a just future entail?”

• Close (12:50-13:00) –  Matimba Swana, on our upcoming events
