People are 'being' killed. Not 'getting' killed. It's the difference between active killing, and the killing just happening.

@jacktaggart.bsky.social and I have been working together on multistakeholderism, and thinking about how these hybrid forms of governance connect to multilateralism This is an attempt to think through institutional hybridity in global plastics governance www.globalpolicyjournal.com/articles/glo...

Are you coming to our book launch? Stay put for further details!! #PandemicPoliciesAndResistance @dawnfeminist.bsky.social

Hot off the press, @mathisenroger.bsky.social @philbakernz.bsky.social Recommendations include Adopt legal measures to give full effect to the Code as opposed to relying on voluntary measures. Prioritise strengthening comprehensive maternity protection, cultivate intersectoral policy environments.

"An economy of genocide." Bring on the legal proceedings against these companies complicit in, and profiting from, genocide! (Full report available in the thread.)

The new commentary published in BMJ Global Health @bmj.com examines how private finance impacts health systems, often prioritising shareholder returns for financial institutions at the expense of improved public health outcomes. 📄 The commentary: go.unu.edu/P215f 📂 Full report: go.unu.edu/SurvL

The deportation of pregnant and lactating women is a new low in an already inhumane mass deportation wave in the #DominicanRepublic. My article for @ca.theconversation.com For Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic, ‘reproduction is like a death sentence’ theconversation.com/for-haitian-...

Excited to see my friend @masayalb.bsky.social’a latest book published! Pre-order it through your favourite independent bookstore like I did (Words Worth Books, Waterloo ON) or from Bloomsbury Canada here: www.bloomsbury.com/ca/pandemic-...

And not only 2026 will be impacted - annual conferences until (at least?) 2030 are already booked in the US. ISA could have avoided this by taking seriously LONGstanding demands for rotating the conference more often & more broadly (Canada has visa issues), or finding other more equitable solutions

Israel is starving Gaza as the world stands by. Shame on all of us! www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Pleased to see Tigers included in Madhu’s list! The film is a dramatization of the true story of Nestlé whistleblower in Pakistan. I wrote up his evidence and appear in the film within composite character Maggie. It’s a great introduction to corporate pressures on health and beyond.

Leaders across the globe must now decide whether to act to end the “escalating atrocities in Gaza” or “bear witness to the annihilation of the Palestinian population,” UN experts have said www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Famine is always man-made (yes, even amidst natural disasters). Political decisions keep food from reaching hungry people. And Israel’s starvation of Gaza is especially egregious, cruel, and unconscionable.

💯. Canadians and, more importantly, Americans need to realize this and act accordingly. The norms and institutions that would normally "right the ship" have been rapidly decimated, and it is a very, very long road back from even this point, let alone wherever we all end up four years from now.

Another interesting panel! “Beyond the Science-Politics Divide in Public Health” - March 24

“Political science in/with/on/for public health” - March 28

Coming up on March 27. Eager to hear more about gender equity in this context.
