From principles to practice

Abstract

In this concluding chapter, we offer an overview of the chapters encompassed in this book as steppingstones in a pathway toward equity. It extends the relevancy of the CCGHR Principles beyond research, suggesting their applicability to teaching, practicing, and any kind of engagement in the field. Reviewing the most salient points from each contribution, I offer a synthesis of the “what” of this book, a response (the “so what”), and ideas about how we might move beyond rhetorical commitments to equity (“then what”). This chapter extends the relevancy of the Canadian Coalition of Global Health Research (CCGHR) Principles beyond research, suggesting their applicability to teaching, practicing, and any kind of engagement in the field. The CCGHR Principles had a humble beginning and resulted from engaged conversations with global health researchers in Canada and beyond who shared their experiences, their thoughts, their ideas, and their challenges to create this seemingly simple framework for doing; the challenge, however, is in the doing. The CCGHR Principles served as an inspiration in the training as young researchers, as they become capable of wrestling with the complexity and contradictions [in global health research] and become more comfortable with the messiness inherent to global health. The chapter helps the readers to learn about the weaving of the CCGHR Principles of Inclusion and Responsiveness to Causes of Inequities. Yet one aspect holds constant: the search for global health equity through the application of The Principles.
