our projects
we use equity science to:
mobilize community as intervention
equip data and evaluation systems to advance justice
harness equity-oriented governance models and processes; and
create real-world pathways towards systems that work for all of us
our community-based projects and research directions are grounded in a shared goal to critically interrogate the ways in which power, authority, resources, and opportunities are distributed, from global to local levels

Integrating Equity in Funding for Global Health Research
Funding policies are important sites for implementation of equity-centred principles and strategies because they set norms, directions, and priorities for research and serve as a primary incentive for researchers. This policy analysis explores equity integration in Canadian and international global health research funding policies.
Solidarity for Vaccine Equity (SOLVE)
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, global inequities in access to COVID-19 related medicines, supplies, and equipment were decried as catastrophic outcomes of failed global governance. This policy analysis and dialogue-based research explores the ethics of obligations to others on issues of collective global health, using vaccine nationalism as a window to understanding global governance and equity.
