Herart and Mind Hub has organized a session on “Conversation on Healthcare and Culture Across Contexts of Access, Identity, and Belonging” this week. The session will take place in two parts: a Reading Circle on Wednesday, which will help prepare for the discussion, and a discussion session on Friday with students from the University of Copenhagen.
About the session: This student-led discussion encourages participants to critically examine how access to healthcare, experiences of illness, and paths to healing are shaped by social identities and systemic inequalities. It will highlight that health and healing do not exist in isolation but are influenced by factors such as culture, power, gender, geography, socioeconomic status, migration, and the broader systems we live within. Through guided conversations, participants will explore themes of belonging, marginalization, cultural meaning-making, and the politics of care, with the goal of challenging existing systems and imagining more inclusive, culturally informed, and equitable approaches to health and well-being.
This is a great opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of healthcare within broader social, cultural, and systemic contexts, explore key themes, and engage in meaningful dialogue.
