Following the fifth annual Critical Social Science Perspectives in Global Health Research (CPGH) Workshop, York University's Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research and the CPGH steering committee have awarded four York U researchers this year's $7,000 CPGH Seed Grants to initiate novel and innovative ideas that take a critical social science approach to global health research.
The recipients and their projects are:
- Agnès Berthelot-Raffard, a professor in the Faculty of Health, "Towards Gender-Inclusive Social Innovation in Community Care: Lessons from Experiential Knowledge in Sexual and Reproductive Health in the Caribbeans";
- Christo El Morr, a professor in the Faculty of Health, "An AI-Driven Tool for Disability Rights Monitoring";
- Andrew Dawson, a professor in the Department of Sociology at Glendon College, "Trust and Compliance: A Cross-National Investigation of the Relationship between Trust in Political Institutions and Healthcare Systems"; and
- Raju J. Das, a professor in the Faculty of Environmental & Urban Change, "Scorching Sites: Examining the Health Impacts of Climate Change on Construction Workers."
The CPGH Seed Grants support York University-based research that contributes to the research themes of the Dahdaleh Institute: planetary health; global health and humanitarianism; and global health foresighting. The grants are meant to encourage faculty to develop fuller grant proposals for fall Tri-Council funding and other grant deadlines. This year's recipients will present the progress of their research at next year's CPGH Workshop.
