Such a crisis challenges us to rethink and reshape how we set research priorities and conduct research globally. For decades, global health researchers have discussed making their research more participatory, engaging communities in the conception, priority‐setting and design of research projects. In practice, however, research relies overwhelmingly on outdated modalities that prioritise researchers and research questions from high‐income countries (HICs), at the expense of funding opportunities and the development of research capacity in many low‐income countries (LICs). This has led to global health research priorities that are not shared with LICs. The COVID‐19 pandemic, by necessitating the involuntary withdrawal of many researchers and staff from HICs operating in LICs, has made this all the more apparent. This has halted many HIC‐led research studies abroad and interrupted research flow. To improve global health research and make it more participatory, there is a need to increase both local research capacity and funding opportunities for researchers in LICs. a modern manifestation of Charybdis.","PeriodicalId":87362,"journal":{"name":"Social anthropology : the journal of the European Association of Social Anthropologists = Anthropologie sociale","volume":"28 2","pages":"224-225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/1469-8676.12856","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38298705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"What does COVID-19 distract us from? A migration studies perspective on the inequities of attention.","authors":"Asia Della Rosa, Asher Goldstein","doi":"10.1111/1469-8676.12899","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1469-8676.12899","url":null,"abstract":"Throughout 2020, movements for solidarity raised their denunciations of the ongoing and constructed border violence globally. Today, amidst the ideological fog of COVID‐19 hysteria, such issues are deafening in their absence. This silence is a harbinger of coming carceral governmentality, long the norm in the spaces of exception that define the frontiers of wealth the world over. For all the legitimate attention the epidemic, and how to respond to it, receives, the constructed lack of capacity and preparation is precisely how we understand the crisis. It marks longstanding inequities in our societies, of chronically under‐resourced health systems predicated on narrow, commodified understandings of health and care, with little concern for the well‐being of our neighbours. The contours of this lack are always‐already‐racialised, tracking the global colour line, now patrolled by cascading nationalisms among whom the only solidarity is with the continued violence at its internal and external frontiers (von der Leyen 2020). Official narrations of the COVID‐19 crisis, as one of national, collective overcoming of a risk that touches all equally, contribute to the erasure of these inequalities, both internally among our risk groups and migrants – whose precarised labour we profit from – and externally, in places where public health systems would look to ours as a distant, blockaded ideal (cf. our camps). We observe two scales in which this racialised inequality continues to be operative amidst the crisis. First, internally, COVID‐19 is exploited as further justification for the pathologisation of perceived ‘Others’ as forms of social contagion (Belak et al. 2020). This is evident in the widespread experiences of hostility and prejudice of those racialised as ‘Asian’, and repeated misnaming of this epidemic as the ‘Wuhan virus’.1 Such everyday processes of racialisation bring about the closure of social frontiers through discrimination, before preparing the ground for legalised forms of exclusion now proliferating (Namer et al. 2020). By constructing perceived ‘Others’ as ‘excludable’ from care, and then blaming them as potential carriers of a disease we already have, we undertake a profound double movement that culpabilises the exposed and erases our responsibility as perpetrators of this exposure.","PeriodicalId":87362,"journal":{"name":"Social anthropology : the journal of the European Association of Social Anthropologists = Anthropologie sociale","volume":"28 2","pages":"257-259"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/1469-8676.12899","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38298932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
