“…A number of tools connecting settler colonial social and structural formations to health outcomes have also been proposed, including those designed to capture historical trauma, loss, humiliation, distress, and social suffering ( 87 , 109 , 188–191 ). Systems thinking and complexity theory have been employed to interrogate Indigenous health inequity and narrative accounts amidst prevalent settler colonial logics and “structures of indifference” ( 70 , 84 , 192 ), and linkages between settler colonialism and the transformation of the natural environment, flora, and fauna have been used to explicate racialized infectious disease burdens ( 193 ).…”

Indigenous people suffer earlier death and more frequent and severe disease than their settler counterparts, a remarkably persistent reality over time, across settler colonized geographies, and despite their ongoing resistance to elimination. Although these health inequities are well-known, they have been impervious to comprehensive and convincing explication, let alone remediation. Settler colonial studies, a fast-growing multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field, is a promising candidate to rectify this impasse. Settler colonialism’s relationship to health inequity is at once obvious and incompletely described, a paradox arising from epistemic coloniality and perceived analytic challenges that we address here in three parts. First, in considering settler colonialism an enduring structure rather than a past event, and by wedding this fundamental insight to the ascendant structural paradigm for understanding health inequities, a picture emerges in which this system of power serves as a foundational and ongoing configuration determining social and political mechanisms that impose on human health. Second, because modern racialization has served to solidify and maintain the hierarchies of colonial relations, settler colonialism adds explanatory power to racism’s health impacts and potential amelioration by historicizing this process for differentially racialized groups. Finally, advances in structural racism methodologies and the work of a few visionary scholars have already begun to elucidate the possibilities for a body of literature linking settler colonialism and health, illuminating future research opportunities and pathways toward the decolonization required for health equity.

“…Israel's construction sector, reflecting its relentless urban expansion often at the expense of Palestinian lands (Tanous & Eghbariah, 2022), was a testament to the economic disparities between the two nations before the conflicts that commenced on October 7th. The onset of hostilities brought about pronounced disruptions.…”

The Palestine-Israel conflict, commencing on October 7th, has led to significant human and economic repercussions, with Palestine facing dire economic challenges exacerbated by multiple factors, and Israel experiencing disruptions in sectors such as construction. The paper delves into the Economic Peace Leverage Theory (EPLT), positing that economic tools can foster peace and reduce conflicts. The global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, aiming to influence Israel's policies towards Palestinians, aligns with EPLT's principles, drawing from historical instances like the South African anti-apartheid struggle. Despite Israel's resilient economy, BDS holds symbolic significance, influencing global narratives. The paper emphasizes that the real impact of BDS lies more in its perceptual influence than economic setbacks for Israel. To harness EPLT's potential and address the root concerns of the BDS movement, a collective global effort is vital. Such collaboration can pave the way for sustained peace and prosperity in the region.

“…It covered useful content, allowed them to accomplish other work-oriented goals simultaneously (i.e., work on writing projects as part of the symposium), and provided an aspect of a conference that was not already being offered by other conference venues. Indeed, providing research content and information was also cited as important but less necessary, as MSE has generated two years' worth of speaker series talk recordings[12,84] and papers[3,14,43,55,[85][86][87], already available to symposium attendees.We learned that most people registered for only one session, indicating that we needed to advertise to non-overlapping audiences for each session. There were large increases in registration in response to social media and email campaigns, but most people who registered months ahead of the event did not attend.…”

Designing the Microbes and Social Equity Symposium: A Novel Interdisciplinary Virtual Research Conference Based on Achieving Group-Directed Outputs

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Microbes and Social Equity working group was formed in 2020 to foster conversations on research, education, and policy related to how microorganisms connect to personal, societal, and environmental health, and to provide space and guidance for action. In 2021, we designed our first virtual symposium to convene researchers already working in these areas for more guided discussions. The symposium organizing team had never planned a research event of this scale or style, and this perspective piece details that process and our reflections. The goals were to (1) convene interdisciplinary audiences around topics involving microbiomes and health, (2) stimulate conversation around a selected list of paramount research topics, and (3) leverage the disciplinary and professional diversity of the group to create meaningful agendas and actionable items for attendees to continue to engage with after the meeting. Sixteen co-written documents were created during the symposium which contained ideas and resources, or identified barriers and solutions to creating equity in ways which would promote beneficial microbial interactions. The most remarked-upon aspect was the working time in the breakout rooms built into the schedule. MSE members agreed that in future symposia, providing interactive workshops, training, or collaborative working time would provide useful content, a novel conference activity, and allow attendees to accomplish other work-oriented goals simultaneously.
