Rethinking global health through a better understanding of power, privilege, and influence – the narrative and voices of those who operate in the infectious diseases global health environment

Infectious Diseases research is a field that lends itself to global collaboration and representation, but sometimes, to misrepresentation and injustice. We conducted qualitative research to better understand how power dynamics manifest in Infectious Diseases in different spaces (central or peripheries) globally and more specifically in Southern Africa. How this is used to facilitate and/or exclude/limit participation of actors in the identified centres and peripheries of global health environments.
