Turning brain drain to global health gain
co-organized by Boston University, Constituency for Africa, and Harvard Medical School
Theme: CONNECTING WITH WAKANDA: DIASPORA, INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY
(Chairs, Daivi Rodima-Taylor, Melvin Foote)
The African diaspora is one of the most dynamic, diverse, and highly educated diasporas in the United States, comprising generations of people of African-American heritage as well as millions of foreign-born immigrants. It has exerted a profound impact on the evolvement of democratic institutions and civic liberties of the United States. This forum builds on the agenda of the African Union to create broader global possibilities for sustainable dialogue, productive partnerships, and Pan-Africanist solidarity to advance Africa and its diaspora. It focuses on social and technological innovation among the diaspora and on the African continent, and explores diaspora’s role as important facilitators of African innovation and knowledge, and turning brain drain to global health gain.
