Dahdaleh Institute research fellow Raphael Aguiar, faculty fellow Roger Keil, research associate Ryan Gray, and associate director Mary Wiktorowicz recently published a paper in Taylor & Francis Online titled, "One health governance of antimicrobial resistance seen through an Urban Political Ecology lens: a critical interpretive synthesis."
The paper analyzes equitable nature-society relations within AMR governance approaches informed by the One Health approach. An urban political ecology of AMR lens is used to explore insights regarding the connections between AMR responses and such issues as environmental justice, global governance frameworks, health equity, socioeconomic factors, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The main takeaway of the article is that a UPE lens offers a compelling framework that informs shared governance pathways to address AMR and related global health challenges, highlighting the need to reassess current global and state governance approaches through a lens premised on equity and just societal relations with nature.
