How we do it
Centric Lab are prototyping ways to use health-based scientific evidence to support justice movements, surface and socialise non-western epistemologies and create language to articulate the injustices felt by many communities in our health. Using neuroscience and environmental data to identify how biological inequity contributes to poor health outcomes in neighbourhoods and peoples that have been racialised and marginalised, they use this research to build open-access community tools, create new narratives and framings of health, and provide organisations with expertise and insights on health and place.
Our research and projects are rooted in three pathways of investigation
Ecological Healing
We identify and study the multiple factors that relate to inequitable health outcomes. This includes environmental pollutants, living conditions, work conditions, transport, and urban systems.
Planetary Dysregulation
We identify and research the building blocks of the dysregulation of our planetary systems. The focus is how environmental pollutants affect the health of our habitats and in turn human health. One line of research is the interplay between external microbiome and our internal gut system. Finally, we advocate for Kinship across all Earthly Beingness.
Narratives & Epistemologies
Part of our liberation and healing depends on learning how to create our own narratives and epistemologies rooted in solidarity and kinship. Only then can we challenge oppressive governing structures.
