Harvard ‘Decolonizing Black Health’ conference looks to ‘shift away’ from Western medicine

This past weekend Harvard played host to the sixth annual Black Health Matters confab, the theme of which was “Decolonizing Black Health.”

Like equity and anti-racism, decolonization is a progressive-created fad which seeks to move away from Western ways of doing things.

In this case, it is to “’challenge and transform’ approaches to health care that may have been shaped by ‘colonialism, racism, and other forms of oppression,’” The Crimson reports.
