Welcome, everyone. In this episode, we discuss how global health conference locations influence power dynamics and representation.
Unfortunately, global health conference locations serve as an uncharacteristic, perennial, and highly effective gatekeeping mechanism.
This “Berlin wall” keeps low- and middle-income country (LMIC) researchers outside global health decision rooms allowing LMIC researchers to face numerous challenges in attending these events, notably visas and costs.
Our co-host, Ulrick Sidney Kanmounye, has encountered these challenges, and he shared his experience in a BMJ op-ed and co-authored a BMJ article exploring LMIC representations at global health conferences.
Readings:
