Presented by Catriona Gold. In this series, we ask scholars at UCL to reflect on the meaning and practice of Critical Global Health. In this episode, Professor Ama de-Graft Aikins (UCL Institute of Advanced Studies) discusses her research on chronic illness and creativity in London and in West Africa, including ‘Chronicity and Care in African Context’, her ‘Tsui Anaa’ project in Accra, and her recent work on covid and the arts. She also reflects on her experience of as a ‘hyphenated’ researcher, as well as questions around how we define critical health research undertaken in the Global North. This podcast series is hosted by the UCL Grand Challenge of Global Heath, with support from the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences and UCL Health, Mind and Society.Date of episode recording: 2022-08-10Duration: Language of episode: EnglishPresenter: Catriona GoldGuests: Ama de-Graft AikinsProducer: Nina Quach
