working for a decolonial turn in the humanitarian and development sector
Today I published the last epsode of Living Decoloniality for this calendar year. My guest is Dr Safieh S.. I was lucky enough to have several opportunities to exchange with her on her approach to health in our sector, and I was touched by her story, as it brought me back the memory of the many health emergencies that we, as humanitarians, tried to tackle around the world in the past 10 years. With over 15 years of experience in the humanitarian sector, Safieh shares practical tools to dismantle the coloniality of knowledge and being within international public health projects. From her work as a medical doctor to establishing the first open-access, multi-country Ebola data repository, Safieh’s journey is a testament to the power of intersectional feminism, open science, and decolonial approaches. And while I publish this article, I realized that Living decoloniality has reached more than 5000 downloads! Thank you, for listening and supporting me through the years, and thank you also to the Centre for Humanitarian Leadership and to Matilde Dani. #podcast #livingdecoloniality #publichealth #globalhealth #coloniality #decoloniality #extractivism #compassion #research #pakistan #feminism
Well explained Safieh! "compassionate curiosity"- something we all can consider practicing as activists/ humanitarians/ scholars/practitioners. Thanks for introducing the concept
