Centre for Global Migration Studies (CeMig)

Migration and Health: Panel discussion of the Centre for Global Migration Studies (in German).

5th night of knowledge

09.07.2022, 17:00-18:30 (CEST)

After more than two years of the Corona pandemic, there is ample evidence that the right to health does not apply equally to all. For example, migrants and people affected by racism have a higher risk of contracting Covid-19. Together with experts from science, civil society and journalism, we will discuss inequality and discrimination in health care.

Panelists:

Michael Knipper, Professorship for Global Health, Migration and Cultural Studies in Medicine, University of Giessen, Germany
Gilda Sahebi, Journalist / Doctor / Author
Hanna Kretschmer and Robin Gerhard (Medinetz Göttingen)


Moderation:

Aleksandra Lewicki, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sociology, University of Sussex and Visiting Researcher at CeMig.

Die Podiumsdiskussion wird organisiert von der interdisziplinären Forschungsgruppe "Public Health and Migration" am Centre for Global Migration Studies (CeMig) der Universität Göttingen. Wissenschaftler:innen verschiedender Disziplinen wollen gemeinsam untersuchen, wie der "Schutz des Lebens" und das "Recht auf Gesundheit" für Migrant:innen und postkoloniale Minderheiten definiert und umgesetzt werden und welche ethischen, sozialen und politischen Fragen sich aus dieser Praxis ergeben.

The event will take place in the lecture hall ZHG 007
