NEW DELHI: Sharda University’s Department of Anatomy and the Forensic Odontology Unit jointly organized an insightful guest lecture focused on enhancing forensic and clinical approaches to sexual relations. The lecture, which drew significant attention from the academic community, featured Dr. Robert Green OBE, Fellow and Vice President of the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences at the University of Kent, as the keynote speaker.

 

The event attracted a diverse audience, including medical, dental, and forensic science students, along with faculty members from various departments. Dr. Parul Khare, head of the Odontology Unit, highlighted the growing importance of addressing gender-based violence within the academic discourse, noting that it is a topic of high relevance in today’s society. She emphasized the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle such issues effectively.

During the lecture, Dr Green underscored the evolving nature of forensic nursing, a field that plays a critical role in addressing violence-related cases. He explained that forensic nurses are tasked with providing medical forensic care to victims of violence, collecting vital evidence, and offering testimony in legal proceedings when necessary. This speciality, he noted, is a unique blend of nursing science, forensic science, and the justice system.

 

Dr Green also shed light on the universal nature of gender-based violence, stressing that it affects individuals across all social strata, from the most educated and affluent to those in lower socio-economic groups. His remarks highlighted the pervasive nature of such violence, which knows no boundaries of class or caste.

In her concluding remarks, Dr Khare praised the students from the Forensic Odontology Unit for their dedication and efforts in presenting their work to Dr Green. She expressed hope that such lectures would inspire further research and innovation in the field, ultimately contributing to more effective forensic and clinical practices in cases involving sexual relations and gender-based violence.

 

The lecture ended on a note of optimism, with participants motivated to continue exploring the intersection of forensic science and clinical practice to address one of society’s most pressing issues.
