ABOUT THIS SECTION
In this section, we unpack the historical experiences of those who have had to grapple with the “trust gap” - that is, having their experiences overlooked or discounted in medical and scientific research. Speakers focus on the ways in which well-being has been hampered by colonial powers, including gender and racial disparities, and engage theoretically and intersectionally with relevant issues related to queer, feminist, racial, and health justice.
