About IRG-GHJ
Since 2020, the Independent Resource Group for Global Health Justice (IRG-GHJ), founded by Sridhar Venkatapuram, Associate Professor of Global Health & Philosophy at King’s College London has aimed to provide political philosophy perspectives on global health justice and injustices which were made blatant in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. This second annual IRG-GHJ conference considers the need to think not only on issues of global health justice, but more fundamentally about the philosophy of global justice itself.
