Please read our new @LancetGH paper led by @bayinganaa — "Dignity-based practice in global health research: a framework of expectations" thelancet.com/journals/langl…
We went from "complaints on knowledge practices" to "expectations that affirm the dignity of marginalised knowers".

"The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness. I cannot describe it at all. It is possible it does not [yet] exist. But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas."
— Ursula K. Le Guin.
TODAY’s treat! Finally got my hands on @DanielleAlakija ‘s copy of this MUST READ by @seyeabimbola - there are imminent seismic shifts in the world of geopolitics, global health & development. This book is essential reading as we prepare to “walk away from the omela’s”

Fantastic to join the @Undisciplinary_ podcast to talk about my continuing fascination with the story of horseshoe crabs, a story that showcases public health's entanglements with strange animals, & questions whether we can, could, or should care about these entanglements?
