SHARE launch meeting

In May 2025, we began the SHARE project with a two-part series of kickoff meetings alongside our collaborative, international research team. The meeting on 21 May set out with an introduction to the vision of the project, including our ways of working and Community of Practice (which sits at the heart of our approach). On 22 May, we focused on the governance structure for the project, the empirical work package, as well as mapping out our impact strategy.

Decolonising the planning of an environmental health study

Dr Gabrielle (Gabby) Samuel presented the SHARE project as a case study for de-colonial qualitative health research to a group of master's students at National Taiwan University, during her visit in May 2025. Gabby emphasised centering local voices and challenging traditional power dynamics in research. Students were incredibly engaged with conversations, sparking discussions on decolonising methodologies, community participation, and ethical considerations in global health. Gabby was told these discussions were continued long after the presentation ended, and into the seminar.

Climate justice: a new requirement for responsible research

Professor Federica Lucivero chaired a panel called Climate justice: a new requirement for responsible research? For the 'Right here Right now' series at Oxford University. The panel critically reflected on existing initiatives to address environmental considerations in the research ecosystem and explore opportunities and challenges. Dr Gabrielle (Gabby) Samuel was a panel member, along with representatives from the European Commission, where she discussed the SHARE project as well as the wider ethical and social issues associated with bringing environmental considerations into health research.

Seminar for the Erasmus Medical Center

In June 2025, Dr Gabrielle (Gabby) Samuel was invited as an international speaker to present the SHARE project for the Medical Ethics, Philosophy & History of Medicine Department seminar at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The presentation presented the premise of the SHARE project, including the need to consider ethical and social issues associated with the implementation of tools to help address the environmental harms of health research, including issues associated with fairness, equity, inclusiveness and reflexivity.
