Jasmin Behrendes & Eva-Maria Willis at the Forum Siegen
The Siegen Forum continues on July 9!
Anyone who wants to talk about health and medicine should not remain silent about aspects of unequal access to it. The Covid-19 pandemic in particular has highlighted the interdependence of medical goods and the logic of ownership - and is by no means limited to them. In her presentation, Jasmin Behrendes, an employee of Doctors Without Borders, will take a look at all these entanglements and subject them to critical scrutiny. Eva-Maria Willis - research associate at the Chair of Sociology of Health and the Health System at the University of Siegen - will then comment on the lecture.
The lecture is entitled "Health for all? Global inequality in access to life-saving medical products?".
Forum Siegen: Lecture - Discussion - Exchange
The manifold problems of our time do not allow science to be practiced only in an academic ivory tower. Even if scientific research and enlightenment cannot conjure up patent remedies and concise instructions, they are able to shape many insights and decisions in all areas of society through methodical training, critical questions and conditional information.
Acting in difficult times increasingly requires reflection. The Siegen Forum therefore discusses problems and examines methods that are important for "practice" in politics, business and culture. Representatives of all scientific disciplines will have their say - and listen.
The framework theme "Medicine of the Future", which is also the theme of the Science Year 2026, forms the umbrella for a total of nine events. Exciting focal points from various disciplines will be brought into focus and the view broadened.
The complete program for the semester can be found here, registration is not necessary.
You are welcome to come to Forum Siegen with your friends!
