Description: This online masterclass explores what it means to decolonize global health. We’ll begin with a critical look at how decoloniality differs from equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI), anti-racism, and justice-focused approaches. Together, we’ll examine the idea of epistemic justice and consider alternative ways of knowing that challenge dominant perspectives in global health. Drawing on projects at LSHTM—including the development of a reflexive planning guide for decolonising research and work on Indigenous and decolonial evaluation methodologies—the session will share key insights, findings, and practical reflections on applying decolonial principles in global health practice and research.
