About this listen

Totality, Edward Said, and Tensions in Global Health (Aida Hassan)

On this episode of Thinking In Between, we welcome Aida Hassan, who is a PhD student at the Centre for Public Health and Policy, Queen Mary University of London. Aida's research on global health draws on insights from international relations and political sociology.

Today, she shares how three ideas have shaped her thinking, teaching, and research:

1) The concept of totality

2) The work of Edward Said, particularly his book Orientalism

3) The tensions between global health and (inter)national security - here, Aida speaks about the paper "Global Health Security: Security for whom? Security from what?" by Simon Rushton (Political Studies, 2011)
