Dialogues: a conversation with Alex Brewis on stigma, empathy and equity

Dialogues is a series from the Global Health Matters podcast where we bring you interviews featuring fresh perspectives on global health issues. The goal of each Dialogues episode is to break through the echo chambers that exist in global health through in-depth, thoughtful conversations. In this episode of Dialogues, we take a deeper look at stigma and how often unconsciously we as global health professionals may be perpetuating it. Host Garry Aslanyan is joined by Alex Brewis, Regents and Presidents Professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University, where she previously founded and directed the Centre for Global Health. As an anthropologist, Alex brings both rich field experience and deep academic insight, helping us reflect on the intentional and unintentional impacts of our global health efforts.
