Really happy to be a co-author on this post about creative methods of research communication and how we are operationalising them in ReBUILD in our work on health systems.
Creative methods of communication can allow academics to connect with the evidence and their experiences working on global health in new and unexpected ways.

#r4today Justin loves to talk about “identity issues” linked to the Democratic Party — but never those in the GOP.
White supremacy is also an identity politic.
Structures of dominance are also identity politics. Identity politics are only criticised when minorities complain about discrimination.

Can global health be decolonised without addressing power imbalances? This paper argues it can't. Even the WHO's equity-focused reports perpetuate Euro-American norms. True equity requires challenging global health's assumptions. tinyurl.com/bddna933 #DecoloniseHealth #scicomms

Disaggregating AMR data by sex, age & other factors is crucial to understanding who is most affected and why. It uncovers inequities and informs effective interventions. With millions at risk, it's urgent to view AMR through an intersectional lens. #PublicHealth #AMR

Examples...
Travel anxiety... asking for a seat with extra room, pre-boarding a flight, asking for a different hotel room if the one you were given triggers you.
