Episode 53
Tuesday, 3 November, 2026
For One Health Day 2026, we’re joined by Dr. Hope Ferdowsian, physician and president of Phoenix Zones Initiative, to talk about her global work and what it means to put ethics and justice at the center of One Health.Dr. Ferdowsian shares how her experiences witnessing both suffering and resilience among people and animals helped shape Phoenix Zones Initiative and its Just One Health approach. We discuss her team’s work on the WHO Pandemic Agreement, the challenges of turning international commitments into practical change, and why education needs to accompany policy reform.We also learn about the Institute for Universal Rights, Health & Justice and how it supports students and professionals in bringing these ideas into their own fields! Dr. Ferdowsian offers thoughtful encouragement for anyone doing this work: keep asking how our solutions can be more ethical and just, and hold onto an ambitious vision while staying grounded in what change requires.The Institute’s next Leadership Program takes place virtually from June 3 through July 8, 2027. It is designed for graduate students, postgraduates, and early to mid-career professionals interested in the connections between rights, health, and justice.
