Noma as a neglected tropical disease
box The rise of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) as a global health category has undoubtedly increased awareness of hitherto unknown health problems; an example of this is the recent incorporation of noma, a severe gangrenous disease of the mouth and face, in the NTD list
Unfair knowledge practices in global health
Unfair knowledge practices easily beset our efforts to achieve health equity within and between countries. Enacted by people from a distance and from a position of power (‘the centre’) on behalf of and alongside people with less power (‘the periphery’), these unfair practices have generated a complex literature of complaints across various axes of inequity. We identified a sample of this literature from 12 journals and systematized it using the r…
Epistemic repair in global health
Some people in global health are systematically subjected to epistemic wrongs, harms, and injustices. And sometimes, with these epistemic wrongs, come more fundamental harms to their sense of self or dignity. -Each person has a moral right not to be treated as inferior. This moral right has found different forms of protection under dignity-based mechanisms. But these mechanisms do not extend, at least not explicitly, to epistemic wrongs, harms, a…
Reproductive justice
The reproductive justice movement started by black women’s rights activists made its way into the academic literature as an intersectional approach to women’s reproductive autonomy. While there are many scholars who now employ the term ‘reproductive justice’ in their research, few have taken up the task of explaining what ‘justice’ entails in reproductive justice. In this paper I take up part of this work and attempt to clarify the relevant kind …
Epistemic injustice in academic global health
This Viewpoint calls attention to the pervasive wrongs related to knowledge production, use, and circulation in global health, many of which are taken for granted. We argue that common practices in academic global health (eg, authorship practices, research partnerships, academic writing, editorial practices, sensemaking practices, and the choice of audience or research framing, questions, and methods) are peppered with epistemic wrongs that lead …
Conscientious objection to abortion in the developing world
In this paper we extend Heidi Hurd’s “correspondence thesis” to the termination of pregnancy debate and argue that the same reasons that determine the permissibility of abortion also determine the justifiability of acts involving conscientious objection against its performance. Essentially, when abortion is morally justified, acts that prevent or obstruct it are morally unjustified. Therefore, despite conscientious objection being legally permitt…
