Dr. Yipeng Ge is a primary care physician and public health practitioner based on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg whose presence reaches back to time immemorial (also known as Ottawa, Canada).
Layth Malhis is a graduate student at Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, where he studies settler colonialism and Palestinian health. His research advances the concept of dehealthification to describe how healthcare systems in Palestine have been systematically dismantled, obstructed, and weaponized as part of a broader colonial strategy. Currently he serves as a researcher at the Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS), where he contributes to the Healthcare Destruction Database.
