💠 “If you are doing critical work, speaking truth to power, but you are doing it without engagement with theory (established social science theory) then you are just a conspiracy theorist” (a Republican Podcast Host). You need theory to lift your critique from conspiracy theory. 💠 We cordially invite students (Masters, PhD etc), researchers, practitioners, etc attending the 8th Global Symposium on Health Systems Research (#hsr2024) in Nagasaki, Japan to our session dubbed: ‼️ Contemporary debates on epistemic justice and the underuse of theory in Health Policy Analysis (HPA): Perspectives of LMIC HPA scholars ‼️ 💠 This promises to be an exciting session. It will enlighten you on the importance of theory and its appropriate use, particularly in the LMIC context. It will help you appreciate the health system's complexities, policy choices, and decisions, and why things work the way they do.

Great! “If you are doing critical work, speaking truth to power, but you are doing it without engagement with theory (established social science theory) then you are just a conspiracy theorist” (a Republican Podcast Host). Remember also that you may not always have to be grounded in theory 😀 !
