Why we must face our past
This article proposes a cosmopolitan theory of global health ethics based on reconciliatory solidarity at both local and global levels. The proposed theory provides the ethical and empirical grounds for the moral imperative of global health solidarity that is often called on today. Reconciliatory solidarity requires that a people/nation-state address the historical injustice and the legacies of political violence within its boundary, with the soc…
Diagnostic Delay as Structural Injustice
Long Abstract Endometriosis affects millions worldwide, yet health systems continue to treat the condition as a biomedical puzzle rather than a contested site of structural neglect. This article offers a critical conceptual review and normative human rights analysis of diagnostic delay in endometriosis, with a primary focus on the United States and selected comparative policy developments. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature on endometriosis,…
Eighty years of postwar multilateralism
Founded on the postwar conviction that health is 'fundamental to the attainment of peace' and that its enjoyment constitutes 'a fundamental human right', the WHO has embodied the UN's ambition to constitutionalise solidarity through law. Nearly eight decades later, this normative order faces a profound legitimacy crisis. The tension between sovereignty and universality has reemerged, and the ethical foundations of global health law are increasing…
Becoming mothers
This qualitative study draws on in-depth interviews with six women with physical disabilities in Taiwan who gave birth within the past decade. Despite societal misconceptions and traditional gender expectations that often discourage their reproductive choices, these women, usually portrayed as ‘misfits’, negotiated institutional barriers and opportunities and built support networks tailored to their needs. Their narratives reveal mixed emotions a…
Making crip feminism with angels’ hands
This manifesto explores the intersections of crip feminism, disability activism and queer politics, articulating a collective vision of resistance, solidarity and reimagined futures for people with physical disabilities, particularly disabled women. Our work challenges mechanisms that marginalise non-normative bodies through poetic expression and critical reflection, advocating for self-determination, accessibility and intimate citizenship. Drawi…
Taiwan’s Covid-19 Experience
Co-learning in crisis
This article provides a comparative analysis of digital interventions implemented in Taiwan and the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic to examine how national contexts shaped the rollout and reception of these technologies. Our analysis challenges the simplistic East/West divide often invoked in pandemic response analyses, which arose during and in the wake of the pandemic, arguing that successes or failures of digital health interventions must exce…
Activist allyship, unspoken dilemma
Partial gender quotas
Sero-Kinship
Research on the lived experiences of HIV survivors, including young people living with HIV, has primarily emphasized broader sociocultural concerns, such as stigmatization and cultural attitudes toward sexuality and gender, while giving less attention to the interconnectedness of these issues with the mental well-being of those affected by the illness. This study, drawing on relational ethnography including observations and interviews at four ant…
Crip-queer intimacy, alliance and activism
This study investigates the significance of sexuality education for individuals with disabilities in Taiwan. It highlights the importance of understanding sexuality as a fundamental aspect of identity, encompassing intimate relationships and connection to others. Since the implementation of the Gender Equity Education Act in 2004, Taiwan has made efforts to include comprehensive sexuality education in the school curriculum and integrate disabled …
Lost to follow up
Medication withdrawal remains a problem in Nigeria's HIV care. The Enugu state of southeast Nigeria has 3,736 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), with a 1.9% HIV-positive prevalence rate among the age band of 15-49 years, higher than 1.3%, the national average for the same cohort. Despite the disease burden, many cases are "lost to follow-up" in this region. Through four focus groups of patients (20 participants in total) and in-depth interviews…
What if I get sick?' Healthcare (non)decisions of overseas Filipino workers in Taiwan
Active Listening and Checking-in as Feminist Pedagogy Against Neoliberal University Practice
Decolonising Global Solidarity
The COVID-19 pandemic has traumatised world leaders, leading people to question the capability and accountability of global health governance. Against this background, we have heard multiple calls to strengthen ‘solidarity’ within and between states – which, weirdly, is practised by keeping a distance from ‘Others’ through, for instance, social distancing, lockdowns, and border control. In this paper, I first introduce the post-World War II inter…
The geopolitics of disease prevention
Military metaphors have been used intensively and excessively against the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide since its outbreak in 2020. In this article, we consider “war” and “military” analogies as keywords to approach the pandemic culture by examining the use of war metaphors at the time of COVID-19 and its relationship with selective “war” memories in the first year of the global outbreak of the pandemic. Specifically, we underpin the heterogeneity …
From security to solidarity
“We are all in this together”. Political leaders, research communities, and civil society organisations have often made this statement during the COVID-pandemic in their calls for global and social solidarity. The statement has two layers of connotation. Empirically, a scenario exists in which we are facing a common threat, despite the unequal distribution of burden [...]
Un(ac)countable no-bodies
By analysing debates between member states of the World Health Organisation (WHO) over health inequities experienced by sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) from 2013 through to 2015 and 2016, this paper interrogates a WHO decision to ‘do nothing’, and the relationship between this decision and the production of ignorance and non-knowledge. This paper problematises state representatives’ discursive practices regarding the lack of evidence on SGM h…
The Future of Taiwan Studies in the Post-covid World’
The covid -19 pandemic has significantly disrupted research communities and agendas worldwide, including Taiwan studies. Consequently, the largest conferences for Taiwan studies in both North America and Europe were cancelled in 2020. In response, the North American Taiwan Studies Association, the European Association of Taiwan Studies, the Japan Association for Taiwan Studies, and the International Journal of Taiwan Studies jointly organised a s…
Struggle for Recognition
Health Apartheid during covid-19
While racism has spread rapidly as the covid -19 pandemic disrupted global health systems, this study focuses on the case of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the first African Director-General of the who , and his allegations of racism against Taiwan, which has been excluded from the who for decades. This study theorises ‘health apartheid’ as a conceptual framework to critically analyse three forces—global racial politics, imperial logics of global he…
A Pluralist Approach to 'the International' and Human Rights for Sexual and Gender Minorities
Queer theorists have considered the problems concerning the political strategy of using LGBT rights to justify racist xenophobia and using homo/transphobia to consolidate heterosexist nationalism. Their timely interventions are important in exposing state violence in the name of human rights and sovereign equality, but they have offered no alternative. They may also have reinforced the assumption of state science. This assumption is based on a tr…
Queer activism in Taiwan
A social movement for sexual and gender minorities (the Movement) emerged in Taiwan around the 1990s after the abolition of martial law in 1987. This article, drawing on Deleuze's assemblage theory, looks at how activists negotiate and compete over constructing the discourses of sexual rights and citizenship in a context of democratic transition. With the recent 'Renaissance' of conservatism, which combines Confucianism and Christianity, the Move…
LGBT rights versus Asian values
Law, especially from the international human rights regime, is a direct reference on which minority groups rely when it comes to ‘non-discrimination’. Drawing upon LGBT rights in Taiwan, as well as Hong Kong and Singapore, this article – through an application of K.H. Chen’s (2010) Asia as Method – critically reviews how global LGBT politics interact with local societies influenced by Confucianism. Along a perpetual competition between the univer…
