About Us
Our project aims to shift the understanding and practice of solidarity in global health. We are studying how solidarity is understood and practised among different people on five continents. We aim to design metrics or actionable tools to rank how global health actors practice solidarity.
We employ pluriversality —the idea of a world in which many worlds fit—and other incompletely-theorized concepts. Inasmuch as total conceptual agreement is not a necessary condition for collaboration in policy making, understanding one another’s positions often facilitates the possibility of arriving at a consensus of shared goals.
