One of the major highlights was her presentation at the Welfare Research Group on 14 May 2024, where she shared insights on research methodologies from her previous and current research. 

Additionally, she attended a Research Network Meeting hosted by the Center of Medical Humanities and Bioethics at Linkoping University, Sweden from May 20- 21, 2024. Engaging with researchers and academics from Uppsala and Linkoping universities allowed Dr Moyana to explore diverse research insights, methodologies and theoretical frameworks that can be adapted to her ongoing research and teaching. Moreover, the networking and discussions around channels for future research collaboration were not only a valuable academic experience for her but also an opportunity to bridge the gap between the Global North and South and the broader academic community in medical humanities.
