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.

The Ecological Factors of Diabetes

Simply saying Black or Indigenous Peoples experience Type 2 Diabetes at a higher rate, leaves room for further racialisation as it could add to the narrative of genetic determinism, which blames a person’s biological make-up for disease rather than considering ecological factors.

Using Data for Health Justice

The mission of this report is to reframe the culture around data to ensure that we understand its limitations, reframe from supremacy to a tool for justice, and introduce a more accurate lexicon so we can better our collective understanding of data.

Creating a Data Culture for Health Justice

Data does not operate in a vacuum as every part of the process is coloured by top down factors such as culture. Which data is collected, how it is analysed and the insights drawn from data are all decision points practitioners have to make and all practitioners belong to a specific culture which influences them.
