Interrogating the past, present, and future of global health in Africa (360G-Wellcome-215871_Z_19_Z)

£27,746

Provoked and inspired by contemporary debates around engagement, epistemic justice, and the decolonization of science, the proposed project aims to begin to build a critically engaged global health studies in (and from) Africa and the global South. What might ‘global’ health become, the project asks, if the power to shape it shifted to the South, into the hands of those often positioned as the objects of its interventions? Through critical dialogues and collaborative processes of participatory knowledge exchange, we hope to create space for new forms of critique and engagement to emerge from this more proximate positionality. The proposed project is structured into three stages, which explore the past, present, and future of global health in Africa. In the first stage, through critical reading and direct exchanges with prominent figures in the field, we will focus on understanding the ‘genealogy’ of global health in Africa. In the second stage, we will look to the present moment, asking how postcolonial politics and critical social theory might disturb how we think about global health. The final stage will develop a collaborative vision for the future of critical global health studies in Africa and the global South.
