Understandings and practices of solidarity in global health
Rising interest in solidarity in global health reflects a growing need to understand why and how it can shape global health policy, practice, and research. This study seeks to review existing studies on solidarity in relation to global health and to identify gaps in current knowledge. We conducted a scoping review of papers published between 2007 and 2024 to explore how solidarity is conceptualised and practised in the context of global health. O…
Gender mainstreaming in Korean aid? Rethinking narratives about women's economic empowerment
Motivation The rise of gender equality as a priority in international development, despite concerning signs such as backlash and waning commitment, has shaped Korean aid's adoption of gender‐equality policies and guidelines under the banner of gender mainstreaming. Despite its increased commitment to gender mainstreaming, Korea's gender‐related funding remains low, and its recent emphasis on women's economic empowerment raises questions about how…
Navigating faith and gender-based violence
This article examines the role of faith communities in addressing family violence among Asian migrant communities in Victoria, Australia. Drawing on six focus group interviews with 23 faith leaders and key personnel from three Asian backgrounds, the study explores their perspectives, barriers and support needs. While faith communities recognize their unique role in supporting community members, they often prefer to refer victim-survivors to speci…
Navigating research, development practice, and activism as a transnational pracademic
This research explores the complexities of constructing identities and fostering relationships as a transnational pracademic. It draws on my experiences as an academic researcher based in an Australian University with an NGO background, collaborating closely with Korean development practitioners and activists. The perceptions and realities of research, development practices, and activism, as influenced by national and institutional contexts, have…
Kevin Blackburn. The Comfort Women of Singapore in History and Memory
The Fight for Global Health Justice
The increasing health inequity and injustice of the COVID-19 pandemic rendered visible the inadequacy of global health governance, and exposed the self-interested decision-making of states and pharmaceutical companies. This research explores the advocacy activities of humanitarian and development international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) in responding to this inequality and investigates how they framed alternatives for global health ju…
Coloniality and decoloniality in 'comfort women' memory activism
This article explores the truth-telling practices of 'comfort women' memory activism through the lens of coloniality and decoloniality. It examines how the colonial legacy has silenced and marginalised the voice of survivors and activists in their past and ongoing pursuit of truth and justice. This study discusses the transnational and transgenerational aspects of truth-telling practices with a focus on memory activism in Australia. Australia's h…
The emotional underpinning of norms and identities in framing Korean aid
While evidence is growing in relation to emotions in international relations, emotions in aid policy have been little researched. Emotions can deepen the understanding of national norms and identities, in which aid policies are grounded. Korea is establishing its norms and identities as a non-traditional donor. This article explores Korean aid, focusing on emotions as presented and circulated in publicly available documents produced by government…
Development practitioners’ emotions for resilience
Emotions are rarely discussed in development due to concerns about professionalism or rationalism in the sector. This research explores emotions that practitioners experience and the roles of emotions in their resilience by drawing on Bourdieu’s practice theory to conceptualise emotions as resources to be embraced rather than something to be managed and controlled. Interviews with 13 Korean non-government organisation workers showed that practiti…
Constructing 'others' and a wider 'we' as emotional processes
This article examines how growing fears, insecurities and uncertainties during the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted an emotional distance from others. The aim is to explore how global solidarity and nationalism are challenged and constructed as collective emotional processes concerning 'others'. Drawing on social theories of emotions during crises and emotions towards others, this study looks at policy decisions around vaccines and health services…
Korean Migrants’ Transnational Activism in Australia
Despite a growing evidence of transmigrants’ political activism, empirical research is still in its infancy. This paper examined how migrants’ political agency was constructed by their emotions, identities and transnational contexts. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with 11 Korean migrants who were residing in Brisbane, the third largest city of Australia, and engaging in home-country politics through self-organized activities. The st…
The nexus of a human rights-based approach and microfinance
This article explores the interaction between a human rights-based approach (HRBA) and pre-existing dominant development practices – microfinance in the context of Bangladesh. A case study of an NGO shows that its HRBA and microfinance challenged and influenced each other. The dialogue between the HRBA and microfinance was promoted by locally based practitioners who know both discourses and local contexts. The findings suggest that hybrid practic…
Human Rights-Based Child Sponsorship
Many NGOs which focus on development have operated child sponsorship programs due to their effectiveness in raising funds. Existing studies offer a critique of child sponsorship as a de-humanizing marketing strategy and as a targeted service provision. Some NGOs have revised their child sponsorship by integrating it with a rights-based approach (RBA), which emerged rejecting the individual focus and disempowering process of development interventi…
Negotiating positions through reflexivity in international fieldwork
This article explores the role of reflexivity in negotiating the researcher’s positions while undertaking qualitative research in an international setting. Negotiating my positions between a researcher and a student and/or practitioner, and an insider and an outsider was complicated. This article suggests that endogenous and referential reflexivity can contribute towards reflecting a researcher’s positionality and its potential influence on the r…
The Role of NGOs in Building CSR Discourse around Human Rights in Developing Countries
As a response to increasing influences of transnational corporations (TNCs) over the lives of the poor, development NGOs have tried to promote their responsibility in cooperative ways: partnership in development projects and voluntary regulations. Notwithstanding some degree of success, these cooperative ways have failed to bring fundamental changes to TNCs. This article outlines the limitations of the mainstream corporate social responsibility (…
NGO workers' internalisation of the human rights-based approach in Bangladesh
The Western origin of human rights raises the question of how the human rights-based approach to development (HRBA) is understood in non-Western countries. This article explores individual practitioners’ perceptions of the HRBA in an NGO working in Bangladesh, drawing on interviews with its workers. The data suggest that participants accept the universal values of human rights and make sense of the HRBA influenced by their organisational and nati…
