Such an important point, this episode is a great listen for those thinking about a PhD or supporting clinicians in research.

Dr. Walter Flores highlights the researcher’s role as a mediator between Indigenous and academic knowledge systems, emphasising respect for different ways of knowing.

How can we best navigate these differences for greater gains? 🎙️👂https://bit.ly/CCS_E78 #IndigenousKnowledge #GlobalHealth #Research

Dr. Lorenda Belone emphasises the importance of reflexivity in community research—recognising our lasting impact.
How do you practice reflexivity?

Breaking down silos in health systems means rethinking whose capacities are strengthened for, & from, research.
#PACTS supports diverse stakeholders to bridge the know-do gap.

Research capacity strengthening (RCS) isn’t a one-off intervention—it needs to be embedded from the start and sustained beyond the project. In our latest episode, hear how #PACTS is doing just that: bit.ly/CCS_E80

#GlobalHealth #CapacityStrengthening @lstmnews.bsky.social @syracuseu.bsky.social

Clinicians often see just a snapshot, while distance, cost, or stigma block some from follow-up care. Our new mini-series shows how #PACTS builds cyclical research capacity, bridging knowledge to real-world impact for sickle cell disease.

Local researchers can sometimes be limited to gathering data, not shaping research. Our new mini-series explores how #PACTS invests in research capacity strengthening to co-design and lead innovation.

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) relies on the coproduction...

This year, @kimozano.bsky.social co-produced an article with the ARISE Consortium: Seven Core Competencies for community-based participatory research. It draws on experiences from Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Sierra Leone, and the UK.

In 1891, a group of Black singers travelled from South Africa to perform in England, with two boys in the choir, Albert Jonas and John Xiniwe. The boys' photos were often playful, staged as if a metaphor for gaze.

Important points by Hanna Tina-Fischer:

'Essentially... the heart of the question is how do we try to go beyond global north to the global south unidirectional model of capacity building, how do we break down the barriers?'
