"Every narration places the spectator in a position of agency" - Manthia Diawara

In this episode, we discuss equity in global health research with Dr. Seye Abimbola. Seye is a senior lecturer at the University of Sidney and editor-in-chief of BMJ Global Health. He is an advocate for the decolonization of global health and has written and spoken extensively on the subject globally. We discuss, among other things, the definition of global health, the problem of gaze and pose, global health funding, building research capacity locally and advice for young global health researchers.
