Education as a mediating interface in global health
Often recognised as a determinant of health and key to health communication, education is an underdeveloped concept in global health. This paper develops a conceptual understanding of how educational processes shape engagement with global health challenges, particularly their role in promoting health equity, capability and sustainability. Using antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as an illustrative case, the paper examines how education shapes underst…
Co-creating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) literacy in Zimbabwean higher education institutions
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge that encompasses social, economic, and ecological risks, and the relationship between human, animal, and environmental health is emerging as a key factor. Addressing AMR means developing capacities across health sectors, with training of health practitioners through higher education institutions (HEIs) essential for strengthening one's health literacy. This paper explores how Zimbabwean …
Bridging the knowledge gap
Purpose The paper explores how the development of sustainability competences as key components in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) education can contribute to the implementation of AMR policies in practice. Design/methodology/approach Higher education is key to promoting sustainability, including sustainable health. Meanwhile, its role and impact are often complicated by unclear educational objectives and a lack of effective strategies. Interdiscip…
Food, health and sustainability
Objectives: The paper explores how students’ values and food choices change or adapt depending on the social environment and how students navigate the resulting tensions in food choices and practices when balancing nutrition against social and cultural preferences and sensory experiences. Design: The study analysed students’ discussions about food and health to explore how values and knowledges are expressed together within them, and shift these …
Agile policies for antimicrobial resistance
This paper examines contextual conditions for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) policy implementation in Zimbabwe. As an emerging global sustainability challenge, AMR constitutes risks for human, animal and environmental health as well as the long-term viability of livestock and farming with implications for communities' economic stability and food security. The study uses participatory research workshops as a data generation method, engaging with i…
Navigating complexity
This article aims to explore the integration of wicked problems into sustainability education, within the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Zimbabwe. As a complex health challenge, increased microbial resistance disproportionately impacts Southern Africa, including Zimbabwe. Engaging AMR in higher education institutions (HEI) requires a relational One Health approach, which integrates human, animal and environmental health through inte…
Balancing diets
Purpose The paper aims to explore how values and knowledge are expressed in student’s discussions about food and health. Design/methodology/approach Food practices present a complex phenomenon extending beyond biomedical descriptions, including social dynamics of food in families and communities. Contextual conditions of social groups and settings have significant impacts on food choices and practices. Although values constitute a central part of…
