The past few years have seen the rise—long overdue—of conversations about how academic global health should look forward. Issues of decolonization, power sharing, community engagement among others, all suggest that there are difficult questions that merit discussion. This Conversation aimed to challenge us to think about the ongoing challenges in global health while also looking to the future and considering the question: what should academic global health look like ten years from now?
Dr. William J. Bicknell endowed this annual lectureship to provide “a periodic but regular infusion of iconoclasts and original thinkers who will bring ideas…that stretch, upset, stimulate, and leave us with renewed energy and commitment.”
This event was cohosted with the BUSPH Department of Global Health.
