Here are some articles that may or may not be of interest to you. They were easy to pull out of one of my thesis' chapters. My thesis is on how models of knowledge production and evidentiary imperatives in public health shape and limit how we understand and act upon health inequity as something that is fundamentally rooted in public policies and political economy. I also interrogate the flexible and neutral character of equity (rather than justice), and that of 'priority populations' which are not articulated in relation to their unjust social determinants.

Anyway, that's enough self promotion. I hope this helps.
