| Inhalt | AFRICAN VOICES IN GLOBAL HEALTH: KNOWLEDGE, CREATIVITY, ACCOUNTABILITY A workshop with Dr Mandisa Mbali (University of Cape Town) There is an emerging literature emphasizing African voices in global health. Critical scholars of global health on the continent are increasingly challenging normative disciplinary framings of African patients and study-participants as invisible, or passive, in constructing their own healing narratives and experiences. Africans are addressing structural inequalities they face in global health policies and practices, challenging donors, NGOs, governments, and intergovernmental organizations to be accountable. The workshop will engage with two broad themes: Africans’ divergent understandings of their global health care priorities and African advocacy on injustices in relation global health facilities, resources and research initiatives. FACULTY Mandisa Mbali is senior lecturer at the University of Cape Town. Her main research interest is in health policy and activism, considered historically, as interrelated phenomena, both transnationally and within South Africa. Dr Mbali has explored this theme in book chapters and journal articles on AIDS activism and policies, health, gender and sexuality and the politics of race and ethics in international health. In 2013 she published her scholarly monograph South African AIDS Activism and Global Health Politics with Palgrave Macmillan as part of their Global Ethics series. More recently, her work has analysed transnational debates over apartheid and medical humanitarianism in late twentieth century South Africa. |
