Research Track Day at the Reproduction and Development Research Track

2022 Track Day was
Sexual and reproductive Health and Rights with the lenses of Medical Humanities & Social Sciences -a way to get skilled in Critical Reading
Science has become modern society's foremost bearer of truth: "Science" = "truth". ‘Global Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights’ is a rapid growing transdisciplinary area of interest not only at universities but in the society as whole. Thus, a wide range of claims-makers of the “truth” exist; from creating justice and saving the world to study reality and presenting results even if they go against other views. The seminar aims to discuss how and on what “scientific truths” rest on-ideology or empirical data? What potential impact does it have for research, teaching at higher education and professionalism in the health sector in a globalized society?
