Knowledge Production in Sexual and Reproductive Health
Various actors are involved in the (co-)production of sexual and reproductive health knowledge(s), through research and policymaking, but also through practice and lived experience. This workshop seeks to facilitate a critical engagement with the processes and dynamics inherent to knowledge production in health research, with a particular focus on the field of sexual and reproductive health (SRH). This hybrid event brings together experts at different stages of their academic careers and from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds who study themes related to SRH. We open with a keynote by Dr Richard Sambaiga, who has dedicated much of his academic career to researching SRH, specifically in the Tanzanian context, followed by an interactive round table discussion. Insights and conclusions from the workshop will be incorporated as part of a critical engagement with the Swiss TPH’s planned winter symposium on gender and health in November 2024.
