Is the UN receiving ethical approval for its research with human participants
This paper examines the institutional mechanisms supporting the ethical oversight of human participant research conducted by the United Nations (UN). The UN has served an instrumental role in shaping international standards on research ethics, which invariably require ethical oversight of all research studies with human participants. The authors’ experiences of conducting research collaboratively with UN agencies, in contrast, have led to concern…
Where to after Covid-19? Systems thinking for a human-centred approach to pandemics
The COVID-19 pandemic was the biggest public health crisis that the world experienced on a global scale in recent history. It exposed systemic weaknesses and fragilities in health, economic, political, environmental and social systems (Haley, Paucar-Caceres, and Schlindwein, 2021 ). Since the early days of the crisis, governments around the world sought evidence-based management strategies, turning to science to inform decisions (Yu et al., 2021 …
Knowledge, Expertise and Science Advice During Covid-19
This raises the question, central to this paper, of what and whose knowledge is or should be sought, which is being side-lined through the choice of particular framings and discourses, and with what consequences for the creation and implementation of evidence-based policy to tackle wicked problems. Through the lens of Fricker's epistemic injustice, I problematise the expertise that has guided the COVID-19 response as epistemically narrow and argu…
Moving from Collaboration to Co-production in International Research
A conceptual framework for training of trainers (ToT) interventions in global health
BACKGROUND: Global health partnerships (GHP) between high or low-middle income countries are considered one of the best approaches to health systems strengthening. They typically involve highly skilled healthcare workers who volunteer to deliver capacity strengthening projects overseas, often in the form of peer-to-peer support through training and mentoring. Given GHP's strong focus on education and training, a common assumption is that training…
Genetic diversity and evidence for population admixture in Batak Negritos from Palawan
Anthropologists have long been fascinated by the isolated hunter–gatherer populations in Southeast Asia (SEA) collectively known as “Negritos.” However, the origins and affinities of these groups remain unresolved. Negritos are characterized by their short stature, dark skin color, and wiry hair, and they inhabit the Philippines, Malay Peninsula, and the Andaman Islands. Among Philippine Negritos, the Batak are of particular interest in understan…
