The Holomodor and Health Heritage
Russia’s deliberate war strategy in Ukraine has disrupted agriculture and food storage and distribution systems to hinder food supplies to the population. The war has created an immediate health and humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions inside and outside Ukraine. Furthermore, research on past wars and conflicts points out that the current crisis could have long-term health repercussions. Tonight, experts will discuss this “health heritage” by taking the case study of the Holodomor, the 1932-1934 period of extreme famine in Soviet Ukraine.
Kunstmatige intelligentie: medicijn voor de zorg?
Ons zorgsysteem moet op de schop. De wachtlijsten voor mensen met mentale problemen worden alsmaar langer. Hoe complexer het probleem, hoe langer het wachten is op behandeling. Dit is in de eerste plaats schadelijk voor mensen in (acute) nood. Daarnaast ondermijnt het ons vertrouwen in zorgverleners, zoals psychiaters en psychologen. Wat is er nodig om de psychiatrie klaar te stomen voor de toekomst? Vanavond onderzoekt professor Iris Sommer of en hoe kunstmatige intelligentie de psychiatrie kan remediëren.
Secrets of the Sea in Times of Climate Breakdown
Despite its many secrets and wonders, oceans have been under threat for years. Corals are dying and sea life is disappearing. Although this is a global phenomenon, some people are affected more than others—and as with many a climate issue, these inequalities bear witness of the afterlife of (post)colonialism. In this talk, we shed light on the ambiguous nature of marine protection and the colonial dimensions of ocean health.
