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.

An ecological definition of health through the stress response
A stressor is defined as a novel threatening environmental agent that alters the baseline human biological system in either of two ways: bringing the system to an unstable biological state, or slowing down the system’s internal response so that it cannot reach equilibrium.
Equitable Working with Community Expertise
In this report, we will look at equitable engagement with community expertise and why it is essential to move towards equitable health solutions. We will define ‘equitable engagement’; reframe the relationship between community and science; and provide a ‘How To’ manual that includes seven principles for equitable engagement with community expertise.
