IHTM Podcasts

In 2024 IHTM launched two new series of podcasts which are available on our website, on Spotify and Soundcloud, and also on the University of Oxford Podcast Channel. 

Unpacking the Fundamentals of Global Health: Towards a New Generation of Leadership

This IHTM podcast series explores some of the emerging and recurrent themes in global health. Our goal is to enrich understanding in order to improve the ways we engage with one another in the global health space. The series draws on IHTM faculty, teachers and alumni, who are at the forefront of health, and we hope the podcasts appeal to a broad audience.
In the first four episodes of the series, IHTM Course Director, Professor Proochista Ariana, is in conversation with philosopher and ethicist Professor Caesar Atuire who is the Ethics Lead for IHTM.

Available episodes:

• Decolonization in Global Health.
• What is Partnership in Global Health?
• Breaking Down Barriers in Global Health
• Beware – Understanding Evidence in Global Health
