This episode focuses on a discussion of solidarity, a way we might reconceptualize our priorities and ethics when considering global health, a principle that takes its cues from sub-Saharan Africa. We talk about reframing COVID-19 as a “syndemic” instead of a pandemic, focusing on the convergence of social forces aside from simply the clinical aspects, as well as the African principles that inspire “solidarity ethics,” and what exactly that means.
