…and this won’t change until we acknowledge that
1. academic global health/development is of, for, & by the ‘North’
2. bringing ‘Southern’ voices into a ‘Northern’ conversation is not progress
3. academic global health/development has to be reimagined as a ‘Southern’ space

Exactly, we found back in 2016 that although 40% of African emergency care research involved collaboration, only 12% of collaboration was between African sites.
We presented a poster on this, but ideally I'd like to do a proper project on this.

Aa long as academic publishing is embedded in an insanely expensive capitalist model of (re)production, the 'North' will dominate. It's a vicious cycle. The 'South' needs disruptive alternatives to business-model journals.

Nice to find, again and again, papers talking about barriers for research in developing countries published behind paywalls. 🤔
