GPHW2024 - How can the application of decolonisation enable the rethinking of public health paradigms for Public Health? (Webinar)

In late 2023 the Indigenous Working Group of the World Federation of Public Health Associations hosted a webinar to discuss the importance of decolonisation to Public Health. The high attendance of this webinar demonstrated the keen global interest in this space. During the Webinar a draft definition of decolonising public health for the World Federation of Public Health Associations was discussed and further refined.

At the start of World Public Health week for 2024 this webinar compliments this conversation and begins to ask the question, beyond definitions how can Public Health researchers, academics and professionals deepen their understanding of decolonisation and practically and successfully apply it to their work? And what role does decolonisation play in supporting the profession to critically rethink key paradigms and prepare for the future?

This webinar will be co facilitated by a First Nations person and a non-Indigenous person of colour. The panel will consist of First Nations advocates, researchers, and academics from across the globe. Participants will have opportunities to contribute the conversation via polls and asking questions of panellists.
