Steven Rogelberg, Liana Kreamer, and Jon Gray have published a review of three decades of research on meetings in the Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior. Anyone who funds or attends convenings in #global_health should read it, because it settles a number of questions we have been arguing from intuition. It also […]

A child born in #Gaza in 2007 is now “six wars old.” That phrase, buried in an academic paper published this month in the International Review of Psychiatry, should stop you cold. It distills, in four words, what pages of clinical data struggle to convey: that for an entire generation, the interval between one catastrophe and the […]

The stagnation in global #malaria mortality reduction has forced a re-evaluation of the tools and strategies currently deployed in high-burden countries. While biological challenges such as insecticide resistance and parasite mutations are well-documented, a critical bottleneck remains the capacity of the human workforce to implement technical strategies with precision. The transition from control to elimination […]

A decolonial feminist perspective on gender equality programming in the Global South

The article “A decolonial feminist perspective on gender equality programming in the Global South” provides a critical analysis of how international non-governmental organizations design and execute gender equality programs. The authors, #Udenigwe_Ogochukwu, #Aubel_Judi, and #Abimbola_Seye, argue that many current initiatives adapt to existing systems of oppression rather than dismantling them. They contend that these programs often inadvertently reinforce racist, capitalist, and patriarchal structures, which can hinder true equality and potentially worsen the well-being of women and girls in the Global South. The authors identify four central themes that characterize these problematic narratives within development programming. 1. Reinforcing hierarchical knowledge praxis The first theme (...)

For decades, #Global_health policy has approached mental illness primarily as a clinical challenge, a condition to be managed within the walls of hospitals and clinics by medical professionals. This biomedical focus, while essential, has often obscured the broader context in which mental health is shaped. A new publication from the World Health Organization, Guidance on policy and strategic actions to protect and promote mental health and well-being across #government_sectors, marks a significant shift in normative standards. It posits that mental health is not merely a health outcome but a structural one, determined as much by the fiscal policy, urban planning, and labor laws of governments as by psychiatric care. A technical framework for cross-sectoral governance The guidance emerges (...)
