Global Health Is About Power: Seye Abimbola on Knowledge, Voice & Who Gets Heard

Global health isn’t just technical, it’s political. In this episode of The Scholars Table, we sit with Seye Abimbola to unpack how knowledge, power, and voice shape what gets funded, published, and implemented in global health.

We discuss:

How power determines whose knowledge is seen as legitimate

Representation vs real shifts in power

What early-career researchers misunderstand about publishing & peer review

How peer review can be rigorous AND just

How to stay critical in global health without becoming cynical
