Whilst there is currently no unified definition of what it would mean to decolonise global health, in its broadest sense, it has been described as the ‘imperative of problematising coloniality'. It is within this context that the “Shifting Power in Global Health: Decolonising Discourses” series was co-convened by the United Nations University’s International Institute for Global Health, Development Reimagined, and Wilton Park. Held as a set of three dialogues between November 2021 and May 2022, the series took as its point of departure the many discussions, webinars, and publications presenting the ways coloniality manifests within global health, with the aim of shifting from problematizing coloniality to catalysing decoloniality. While colonialism refers to the physical occupation of a bounded territory, coloniality, in both its historical and present-day manifestations, is understood as a globally persistent and geographically unbounded extractive process that drives inequities. Consequently, while decolonisation is easily recognised by the physical removal or exit of the colonising force, a similarly straightforward definition for decoloniality is not so easily found.
