Description:

In this lecture, Dr. Abimbola will a
propose framing the origins and
solutions to global health problems
in terms of either a failure to or
efforts to context a system to more of
itself, so that it can learn from itself.
The connections may be temporal;
they may also be spatial — along
vertical and horizontal directions.
Unfair knowledge practices in global
health are therefore those that
constitute barriers to the possibility
of connecting a system to more of
itself. The lecture's argument will be
made using the famous claim that
there has never been a famine in a
democracy.
