“…The science agenda has increasingly been shaped by a global economy, facilitated by the growth of international research collaborations, shift from academic to commercial enterprises, from market‐separate government centres, to transnational corporations and commercialized knowledge (Ramachandran et al , ; Agarwal, ; Karlsson, ). The impact on science and biomedicine of global economic growth and investment has been vast, with the emergence of new centres for scientific research or collaborations with large conglomerates and public and private institutions in the North and the South (Sáenz, ), reflected in global increases in the numbers of scientists, funding and research areas (WHO, ).…”

“…Arguably, the impacts on poor and vulnerable women of changing environmental conditions are masked by discourses of medical progress, technological innovation and scientific breakthroughs. In response, STS scholars suggest that to avoid a scientific tendency towards reductionist and binary thinking, research must better understand the complex flows between science/technology, society, nature and culture (Ramachandran et al , , p. 97).…”

Well-established bodies of scholarship that inform contemporary global debates on gender, environment and health are fundamentally based on dualistic representations of women, such as First/Third World, rich/poor and victim/polluter. In this paper, we argue that recent socioeconomic transitions -affluence in the global South and rising inequality in the global North -demand the development of gender analytical frameworks that better recognize the diversity of roles that women play in the changing global social order that impact on their health. Our paper (a) critiques the dualisms found in three influential bodies of scholarship, namely gender, environment and development, science, technology and society, and sustainable development; and (b) through our critique, conceptually develops an 'interconnectedness' perspective that focuses on the increasingly shared lived realities of women in the North and the South, to understand the emerging complex relationships between gender, environment and health.

“…Teachers often find their time and energy consumed by non-teaching workloads and targets. In several states, such as Odisha, Mizoram, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and West Bengal contract teachers are recruited and paid only a fraction of the salary of regular teachers (Ramachandran et al, 2020). Given these circumstances, it is worth asking whether teaching is still a source of self-worth for teachers.…”

The purpose of this study is to highlight the insufficient understanding of the lives and concerns of government schoolteachers in India, who are often blamed for the deteriorating state of public schools in the country. It examines previous studies on the subject and contends that they have not adequately represented the teachers' perspectives and voices. In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Indian teaching workforce, it is crucial to conduct research that delves into the personal lives and experiences of Indian teachers. To this end, this review paper adopts a hermeneutic approach to select relevant studies for analysis. We explore the evolution of research on the lives of teachers as a distinct field of study, and introduce several prominent studies in this area to provide a foundation for future research in the Indian context. Ultimately, we identify several key questions that can be addressed through an examination of the lives of Indian teachers.
