Title: Decolonization and Global Health Equity Intern Mentors: Amelia Mackenzie, Associate Scientist in the Product Development & Introduction Department in Global Health, Population and Nutrition Project: Decolonization and Global Health Equity Task Force Scope of Work: Based on inequities which continue to persist in the domestic and international settings within which FHI 360 conducts health research and programs, the Decolonization and Global Health Equity (DGHE) Task Force was founded. A Steering Committee within the larger Task Force was formed to actualize knowledge sharing; operationalize the momentum into action; and provide support, coordination, resource, and guidance on DGHE efforts across FHI 360. The Steering Committee is a team of individuals focused on analyzing, synthesizing, and developing new partnerships, practices and innovations in all of FHI 360's work. This includes internal and external facing technical activities, business development, program management workstreams, research design and implementation, and workplace culture and professional development. The Steering Committee is particularly cognizant of translating principles of decolonization and global health equity into FHI 360’s domestic and international portfolios. Our DGHE work is informed by decolonization efforts that are decades in the making and have resurged thanks to student movements at many academic institutions around the world. We seek a master’s student to contribute to various activities related to the DGHE Steering Committee, which may include:

Compiling resources and developing tools to assist FHI 360 in implementing decolonization frameworks in its health-related work;
Developing positionality statements for the Task Force and units and teams within FHI 360;
Identifying and establishing indicators to inform research and monitoring and evaluation; and
Reviewing literature and histories of the field of family planning broadly and contraceptive research and development specifically, informed by a reproductive justice framework, and developing documents, presentations, and/or blogs with the PDI Department.
Support additional activities related to FHI 360’s global family planning strategy such as conducting literature review(s), supporting knowledge management initiatives, and/or helping plan for technical events with partners.
Through the Steering Committee, the student will work with many Departments within Global Health, Population and Nutrition, including Product Development & Introduction, Behavioral, Epidemiological & Clinical Sciences and Research Utilization.

Anticipated Duration: Fall Semester, with possible extension through spring semester Requirements: The ideal candidate will have a mix of the following skills, interests, and/or experience:
