from two flood case studies, Durban, South Africa, and Northern Rivers, NSW. In a time where the familiar has now become strange, #visual #methods are an innovative way of creating awareness of the increasing severity and frequency of #environmental #disasters.

It was such an honor to present at the #VRC2023 as a part of the #AAA2023 in Toronto, Canada. At this conference, I showcased the #artsbasedresearch collaboration that I have been working on with visual artist @JessicaColdrey

This film depicted the embodied experience of physical and environmental injuries in flooding events through animation and was based on the combined #environmental #disaster research of two years of ethnographic observations, focus groups, interviews and art-making

#NEEDS2023 included constant inspiration, education, and the coming together of a disaster community committed to collaboration in uncertain times.

#Art-based research on #floods & #disaster experiences in South Africa by @EmilyRagus. From #workshops to #interviews to playdough to #drawings. A great case of using different #methods to gain rich social data & shifting power imbalances in #research

.@EmilyRagus sharing powerful images in her presentation on the power of art, play-dough and bodymapping in the impression of self-identity and the reimagination of futures after disasters in South Africa.

One looks back, wanting to tell everything without hesitation and there is nothing left, everything has been told a thousand times.
Hands empty.
It is our fate:
To start again with the simplicity of the first letter.

With only a few days left before returning home to Amsterdam from data collection, I'm increasingly excited about my empty word document.

[Samuel Brookfield @s_brookfield]

My new paper is out today discussing the history, purpose, & effects of labelling something a public health issue.

Main argument: public health is as much an analytical stance as a field of study, & we should acknowledge the values & politics it entails.

Our ambulance team & @RedCrossUkraine volunteers in Mykolaiv evacuate wounded people from near the frontlines almost daily.

Bringing people to hospitals for care is often a life-saving act.

It's tough but essential work. Our teams’ bravery and professionalism is admirable

Yelena and her mother Valentina fled fighting in Lugansk back in 2017.

They found shelter in an abandoned school here in Odesa, with no running water or heating despite the bitter winter.

Then she lost her husband to cancer.

She told me it’s been a long fight for survival.

An estimated 16·9 million lives (32·9% of all deaths worldwide) were lost from conditions needing surgical care. This figure well surpassed the number of deaths from HIV/AIDS (1·46 million), tuberculosis (1·20 million), and malaria (1·17 million) combined. #globalsurgery
