A facilitators’ manual for advancing a decolonial lens in global health research contexts has been developed in the wake of a GLOHRA-supported training, organized by researchers from Bielefeld University & Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg in 2022-2023. In addition to the manual, a series of illustrations has been created to support discussion and trainings on decolonization efforts in Germany. These resources provide practical tools for critically examining and addressing the colonial legacies that shape global health. They are valuable for researchers, educators, and practitioners striving to foster more equitable and inclusive global health approaches. Explore the newly published resources here: https://lnkd.in/exVmMUEJ More about the training: https://lnkd.in/eRNXTjBx Conceptualization and development by Hannah Eger, Hanna Luetke Lanfer, Diana Podar & Victoria Saint, with illustrations by Illustration by Zeynep Alpay. The training was supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany as part of GLOHRA. #globalhealth #research #decolonizeglobalhealth #teachingresources #illustrations #earlycareerresearcher #GLOHRA

Our passion-project is finally live! 🎉   🌍 We’ve developed a few free resources to foster reflection and dialogue on advancing a decolonial lens in global health research:   📖 A facilitators’ manual to help (early career) researchers organise events or trainings.   🎨 Visuals illustrating key themes and challenges shaped by colonial legacies in global health research, working with the talented illustrator Zeynep Alpay.   ⭐️ This includes illustrated portraits with inspiring quotes from Themrise Khan, Catherine Kyobutungi, @Ceporah Mearns, Muneera A. Rasheed, and Emma Rhule, PhD.    These outputs build on our 2022/2023 training with 50 researchers & nearly 20 speakers worldwide, which was funded by the German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA).   The resources are free to download and use (with citation, under license CC-BY-ND) to spark reflection and dialogue—whether in Germany or beyond. 👇 Check them out and join the conversation! More details are available on the Bielefeld University website.  https://lnkd.in/dsneZGBV   This has been a slow, thoughtful and at times fraught-full process – full of debate, reflection, learning, self-doubt and little resourcing! We publish these as “living documents” in the spirit of shared learning and fostering dialogue, and we welcome feedback. 📬   I feel very grateful to have collaborated with Hannah Eger, Diana Podar, Hanna Luetke Lanfer on this work, as well as on the original training also with Stella Duwendag, Nora Gottlieb, Stefanie Harsch-Oria, @Yudit Namer and Lisa Wandschneider. Many thanks also to the chair, other workshop and symposium speakers, mentors, artists and participants who were all involved in the original training. 🙏   #GlobalHealth #Decolonization #Research #Collaboration
