This year, the Global Health Solidarity Project has been shaped by searching conversations about what solidarity means in contexts of crisis, conflict, and care. One of our team members, also doctoral candidate at Western University (Canada), Francisco Mendina, is extending this work.
This session is an interactive dialogue centring refugee health, lived experience, and practice. It will examine how solidarity is enacted (and sometimes misused), where “unsolidarity” appears in real systems, and how we can turn values into workable mechanisms that improve care and protection.
CALL FOR PAPERS – NOW OPEN!
The Call for Papers for the upcoming issue of Public Humanities, under the theme “Global Health Solidarity”, is currently open.
This issue explores how solidarity is understood, practiced, and mobilised in global health across disciplines, geographies, and communities.
If your work engages with questions of equity, justice, and collective responsibility in global health, we welcome your contribution.
Join us for the 4th edition of the Global Health Solidarity Bi-Monthly Webinar, a vibrant and dynamic conversation co-organised with the University of Costa Rica and CLACSO (Latin American Council of Social Sciences).

Decisions made today will shape the health of future generations, yet young people often have little say in global health governance. Despite being recognised as key players, youth involvement is frequently reduced to symbolic representation rather than meaningful engagement. Youths’ agency is diminished by multilateral and state-driven initiatives, leaving them with limited opportunities to shape global governance and policy. It is important for young people is to recover this agency of what their health is about, and this is critical to achieving true solidarity in global health
