Is it possible to decolonise global health institutions?

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

In the past year, decolonising global health has gained prominence. Much of this movement has come from students of global health in high-income countries and preceded the recurrence of Black Lives Matter movements after the violent murder of George Floyd. Black Lives Matter and Decolonising Global Health movements have managed to shake schools of global health if not to their core then at least awake. As a reaction schools of global health have made statements about racial equality and have avowed to address racism, increase staff and student diversity, and to train their staff in the art of decolonisation. I have been involved in these processes of decolonisation at my own institution. Yet I also view such efforts critically.
