Description
What does it mean to be healthy and stay safe in our world? Where can we witness spaces of power, control and resistance to existing paradigms of (global) health governance? This panel dives into the politics of power in global health governance through the lenses of technology and resistance in various intersecting papers. From practices of resistance to health policy in the EU and the integration of rights-based approaches in public health policies to the mobilisation of queer solidarity during the recent mpox outbreak, this panel shows that the domain of health is not only deeply political but that it inspires activism and dissent. Moreover, this panel highlights the role of surveillance and control on the level of neurobiology and mental health, thereby contributing to ongoing debates about the disciplinary scope of global health scholarship.
