Women in science
For 50 years, TDR has been fighting infectious diseases of poverty, engaging researchers and experts from all over the world in its efforts. Each individual brings unique knowledge, and together they make up a vibrant scientific community called TDR Global. TDR Global is committed to driving and encouraging mentoring of young scientists and fostering research collaborations. We created a collection of inspiring stories to showcase the incredible work of a range of women scientists. The vision of this TDR Global compendium is to motivate those working in the field by sharing success stories of these women in research. These scientists come from across the globe—Algeria, Cameroon, Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Republic of Congo, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland (Eswatini), Thailand, Uganda, and the United Kingdom. Each woman featured in the compendium has her own unique story to tell. None of their paths were without its challenges, but it is how they reacted, embraced, and overcame these pressures that impressed us. This second edition adds new profiles of four additional scientists.

Global Health, Humanity and the COVID-19 Pandemic
This volume interrogates global health and especially the scourge of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the role that science has played in mitigating the human experiences of pandemics and health over the centuries. Science, and the scientific method, has always been at the forefront of the human attempt at undermining the virulent consequences of sicknesses and diseases. However, the scientific image of humans in the world is founded on the presumption of possessing the complete understanding about humans and their physiological and psychological frameworks. This volume challenges this scientific assumption. Global health denotes the complex and cumulative health profile of humanity that involves not only the framework of scientific researches and practices that investigates and seeks to improve the health of all people on the globe, but also the range of humanistic issues - economic, cultural, social, ideological - that constitute the sources of inequities and threat to the achievement of a positive global health profile. This volume balances the argument that diseases and pandemics are human problems that demand both scientific and humanistic interventions.
Worlds of Human Rights
This book engages with contemporary African human rights struggles including land, property, gender equality and legal identity. Through ethnographic field studies it situates claims-making by groups and individuals that have been subject to injustices and abuses, often due to different forms of displacement, in specific geographical, historical and political contexts. Exploring local communities’ complexities and divided interests it addresses the ambiguities and tensions surrounding the processes whereby human rights have been incorporated into legislation, social and economic programs, legal advocacy, land reform, and humanitarian assistance. It shows how existing relations of inequality, domination and control are affected by the opportunities offered by emerging law and governance structures as a plurality of non-state actors enter what previously was considered the sole regulatory domain of the nation state.
