Research Library
This research library has been created over years in partnership with various researchers, communities, and organisations. This library is a site of living knowledges; a realm where knowledge finds a sanctuary to flourish, evolve, and expand beyond the confines of conventional repositories. It is a dynamic space dedicated to storing and nurturing knowledge in a manner that allows it to adapt, transform, and grow with the passage of time. Every piece of information is treated as a seed, capable of germinating, branching out, and cross-pollinating with other ideas.
Using Traditional Chinese Medicine to Observe Obesity
TCM addresses the root cause of symptoms. It is less interested in weight loss as it is uncovering internal imbalances and as such the treatment plan would be focused on first reaching internal harmony and strengthening organ and meridian function, and the healthy circulation of Qi and blood.
Right to Pollute Policies and their Epistemological Roots
This project brought together people with knowledges across a variety of policy, organising in healthcare and the criminal justice system, as well as environmental and climate justice.
Two Essays on Non-Western Approaches to Healing
These two essays reflect on non-western healing epistemologies, both as an opportunity for healing and as a response to the harms of the western medical industrial complex.
Planetary Dysregulation, Capitalism, & Healthcare
The intention of this audio project is to discuss the links between systems and imaginations rooted in supremacy, the dysregulation of planetary systems, and the poor health outcomes being experienced by peoples who are racialised and minoritised.
The Need to Move from Care to Healing
This report looks at how an ecological healing system can mean that we create pathways for everyday healing rather than waiting for the onset of disease.
Gender, Care, and Equity
The key takeaway is that sex and gender are one way of conceptualising a complex ecosystem made up of multiple cells and microbes which digests, reproduces, thinks, and loves, rather than a universal truth.
Health as Ecological
There is a need to understand the history behind framing health as individual choices or behaviours to better appreciate why an ecological health approach looks like and its significance in eradicating health inequities.
Obesity, Classism and Racism
There are various problems with targeting a community based on their race, specifically in the context of health. To say “Black community” or “Indigenous Community” is a misnomer as it doesn’t see the person to place relationship, which is essential to understanding health.
