Decolonial Thought and the Soviet Legacy
Cultural Decolonization and Sustaining Decolonial Approaches
Reckoning with Positionality and the Implications of Soviet Colonialism
Displacement, personal loss, and psychological strain among physicians and nurses working in Gaza, 2023–2024
On January 26 th 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) recognized plausible grounds for genocide being committed in Gaza by Israel. A hallmark of the violence has been unprecedented attacks on health workers since October 7 th , 2023. We use the word “genocide” to refer to this period of accelerated violence and displacement in Gaza, following ICJ findings, detailed reports by human rights organizations, and statements by genocide schola…
Reimagining Black maternal health narratives
Black maternal health narratives have long been dominated by crisis-focused frameworks that emphasize morbidity and mortality, often reinforcing narratives of vulnerability, pathology, and systemic failure. While these statistics are crucial in identifying disparities, they obscure the full spectrum of Black maternal experiences, erasing stories of joy, resilience, and thriving. This essay argues for a shift toward a vitality framework—one that r…
Who Counts in Official Statistics? Ethical‐Epistemic Issues in German Migration and the Collection of Racial or Ethnic Data
In European countries (excluding the UK and Ireland), official statistics do not use racial or ethnic categories, but instead rely on proxies to collect data about discrimination. In the German microcensus, the proxy category adopted is ‘migration background’ ( Migrationshintergrund ): an individual has a ‘migration background’ when one or more of their parents does not have German citizenship by birth. We apply a coupled ethical‐epistemic analys…
On Collateral Damage, Selective Anti-Imperialism and the Path to Liberation
Can digital health democratize health care
Much has been said about the potential of digital health technologies for democratizing health care. But how exactly is democratization with digital health technologies conceptualized and what does it involve? We investigate debates on the democratization of health care with digital health and identify that democratization is being envisioned as a matter of access to health information, health care, and patient empowerment. However, taking a clos…
The ethics of mHealth as a global phenomenon
Patient‐led innovation and global health justice
Health innovation is mainly envisioned in direct connection to medical research institutions or pharmaceutical and technology companies. Yet, these types of innovation often do not meet the needs and expectations of individuals affected by health conditions. With the emergence of digital health technologies and social media, we can observe a shift, which involves people living with illness modifying and improving medical and health devices outsid…
Interdisciplinary perspectives on digital technologies for global mental health
Digital Mental Health Technologies (DMHTs) have the potential to close treatment gaps in settings where mental healthcare is scarce or even inaccessible. For this, DMHTs need to be affordable, evidence-based, justice-oriented, user-friendly, and embedded in a functioning digital infrastructure. This viewpoint discusses areas crucial for future developments of DMHTs. Drawing back on interdisciplinary scholarship, questions of health equity, consum…
(En)Countering epistemic imperialism
On February 24, 2022, the world was surprised by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and, perhaps even more so, by Ukraine's fierce resistance to it. In this article, we examine mainstream and feminist International Relations (IR) debates that have emerged in response to Russia's invasion, as well as the older debates revived through them. Building on decolonial and feminist scholarship, prominently centering feminist debates from Europe's Ea…
Digital surveillance in a pandemic response
Our paper interrogates the ethics of digital pandemic surveillance from Indigenous perspectives. The COVID‐19 pandemic has shown that Indigenous peoples are among the communities most negatively affected by pandemic infectious disease spread. Similarly to other racialized subpopulations, Indigenous people have faced strikingly high mortality rates from COVID‐19 owing to structural marginalization and related comorbidities, and these high rates ha…
Employing Feminist Theory of Vulnerability to Interrogate the Implications of Covid-19 Apps in Racialized Subpopulations
Tales of self-empowerment through digital health technologies
Femtech technologies, such as period and fertility trackers, promise their users empowerment through reliable knowledge about and control over their bodies and ownership of their procreative health. However, the notion of empowerment through period and fertility apps deserves scrutiny. Based on a thematic analysis of a range of ‘female health’ app promotion materials, we explore the kind of empowerment promised by app providers and point towards …
Digital contact tracing and exposure notification
There is growing interest in contact tracing apps (CT apps) for pandemic management. It is crucial to consider ethical requirements before, while, and after implementing such apps. In this paper, we illustrate the complexity and multiplicity of the ethical considerations by presenting an ethical framework for a responsible design and implementation of CT apps. Using this framework as a starting point, we briefly highlight the interconnection of s…
Justice
Health policy and systems research (HPSR) is increasingly being funded and conducted worldwide. There are currently no specific guidelines or criteria for the ethical review and conduct of HPSR. Academic debates on HPSR ethics in the scholarly literature can inform the development of guidelines. Yet there is a deficiency of academic bioethics work relating to justice in HPSR. This gap is especially problematic for a field like HPSR, which can ent…
Boy Interrupted - Biographical disruption during the transition to adulthood
Most studies on the gendered aspects of biographical disruption are predicated on adult experiences of chronic illness, often based on heterogeneous samples. This paper goes beyond typologies by analysing the life-history case study of 'Sam', a 23-year-old Australian man raised in a refugee family, who developed a disabling chronic health condition at 15 years of age. The analysis illustrates how critical contextual factors like life-phase, combi…
Queering the Odds
In this paper, I investigate the ethical aspects of sex selection for “family balancing.” Advocates of the practice make two claims: first, that it is ethically permissible because it creates gender diversity and entails no harm from sexism; and, second, that it benefits families, as gender diversity offers richer experiences. I test these claims through an empirical study with Australian sex selectors. I argue that the claims are flawed because …
