Who we are as 'scholars' matters.

In my recent IJEH article "Five ways health 'scholars' are complicit in upholding inequities, and how to stop", I argue that who we are and what we do in these spaces matter. As a new IJEH editorial team member, I'm excited to share more about myself & my motivations in this invited blog post!

The importance of measuring experiences of water insecurity

One of the most pressing consequences of climate change is the water crisis; indeed water is at the center of the climate crisis. Water issues are increasing in magnitude and severity worldwide, and affects health and wellbeing in far-reaching ways. Even though water is a human right addressed in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, “Clean Water and Sanitation for All”, we are still struggling to fully grasp the impact of the water crisis on peoples´ daily lives.

International Journal for Equity in Health is published continuously online-only. To to keep up to date with all of the latest articles, sign up to receive email alerts by registering here.

The journal encourages the submission of Notes from the Field. These should describe pragmatic or creative solutions to research under difficult conditions or that describe and analyse the work that practitioners carry out and that may not rely as solidly on methodology as a research article. They should contribute to policy debates and describe the lessons and challenges learned during the fieldwork or data collection. The articles must present a clearly articulated problem and aim to share experiences which benefit researchers, practitioners, and/or policymakers. Authors can choose the article type that is most appropriate for their work.
