One critique of the agenda to decolonize global health is that it lacks a philosophical/theoretical foundation. In this book, I used the Critical Realist meta-theory to unpack the colonized nature of Global Health and possibilities of its decolonization. www.routledge.com/Decolonizing...
Good Morning Everyone 😊☕🌤️ Have a Great Monday and Start to a New Week 🫶
We formulated an indigenous realist evaluation as a research paradigm for enhancing the global health decolonization agenda. This is a methodological reflection piece, and we would like others to build on it. hashtag#decolonization hashtag#Indegenousresearchmethods hashtag#realistevaluation
What a read! As a proponent of open systems and complexity conceptualization in health policy and systems research, I really enjoyed this one.

Thank you Trish. This is incredible coming from you.
Realist reviewers, here's a banger of a new paper by a South African group whose work I've only just become aware of. Good bit of philosophy to chew on if you've time. But also seeking to make RR more practical. Enjoy! #healthpolicy
