Proud of the activism, dedication, and scholarship of my colleagues at @dukedecolonize. A thread from our recent commentary in @GlobalHealthBMJ

"As we emerge from this pandemic, what will it take for the global development sector to be more inclusive and more sensitive to the realities of the world around us?"
What does it mean to decolonize global health, as well as the broader global development sector? In this video explainer, @amrutabyatnal looks at how colonial mentalities have been affecting the #COVID19 response and why that is important to address right now. ⬇️
Working in partnership and collaboration w/@laura_mkumba and @YadurshiniR on this working grp, which grew beyond what we ever imagined, has been the utmost privilege of the last few years. Excited to pass along leadership to our colleagues @CordeliaKenney and @alimuradbuyum
Our co-founders @YadurshiniR @laura_mkumba @andreakoris are stepping down to focus on their post graduation careers. The group will be co-led by @CordeliaKenney and @alimuradbuyum. Please direct questions about the group to their DMs or our email [email protected]
