From Our Listeners
“This was so interesting & important. The need to unlearn so many systems & build in equity from the start. So much of the agenda in research outputs is set by STEM and big publishing. “Knowledge by Whom? Knowledge for Whom?” Thanks @KnowEquityLab“

“I learnt so much from this episode and this podcast in general. Really inspired by Dr Tumwine’s work of 20+ years, his storytelling, and his call for global action to reduce knowledge & health inequities against the backdrop of the current pandemic.”
