Antiblackness and Global Health: Thinking epidemic responses in the colonial wake (Book Talk)

Dr Lioba Hirsch (University of Edinburgh)

23rd October 2024, 3pm

Roxby Building, 6th Floor Seminar Room

Lioba joins us to discuss her recently published book Antiblackness and Global Health: A response to Ebola in the Colonial Wake (Pluto Press), which explores the persistent coloniality of global health interventions on the African continent, the racial and racist entanglements of humanitarian responses to medical emergencies and the methodological, intellectual and practical possibilities to foreground postcolonial voices in this debate.

Part of the Seminar Series “Critical Theory, Critical Practice” organised by the Power, Space, and Cultural Change Cluster, Department of Geography and Planning.
