Publish date Journal Title Conceptualization of “decolonizing Global Health” Citations Impressions
April 9, 2019 Global Health Promotion Climate change and Indigenous Health Promotion “It is intrinsically linked with a process of reclaiming and centering Indigenous ways of knowing and doing. Decolonization of health promotion also requires the dismantling of institutional structures and systems that support racist practices and perpetuate inequities. This needs to be coupled with devolution of power to Indigenous communities and a commitment to uphold Indigenous peoples’ rights to self-determination.” [57] 64 N/A
March 25, 2020 BMJ Global Health The promise and pitfalls of social science research in an emergency: lessons from studying the Zika epidemic in Brazil, 2015–2016 “However, important questions remain as to how this research should be conducted in a way that is ethical, practical, appropriate and of high quality.
