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.
Obesity & Trauma
This report will take an ecological approach, focusing on the bidirectional pathway between trauma and obesity to highlight the disparity between scientific evidence and communication around obesity, as well as the psychosocial factors that contribute to, and maintain, this disparity.
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.
