Open Lecture – Decolonizing Dentistry to Centre Health Justice: Dismantling White Supremacy and Power from Oral Health

Dr Eleanor Fleming, University of Maryland, Baltimore, is visiting Bristol Dental School as a Bristol New Generation Visiting Researcher to explore decolonising dentistry and anti-racist and inclusive clinical practice.

During her visit, she will be giving an open lecture held in conjunction with Centre for Black Humanities and the Black and Brown Bioethics network. This talk will contemplate the inherent whiteness of dentistry, and the epistemic, empirical and institutional biases of oral healthcare. Drawing on contributions from Black (feminist) theory, decolonisation principles and tenets, critical race theory and anti-oppressive work, this talk will create and hold a space to imagine a counter-hegemonic view of dentistry as a healthcare system, educational system, research and clinical practice.
