2. Bring in other perspectives of historical context, especially those of colonized people - colonizers were one voice but not the only voice - especially historians of global health are well equipped to disrupt top-down narrative of global health knowledge production

4. Attend to postcolonial periods
draw on scholarship that examines colonized places after period of colonization - much of postcolonial histories of medicine have been histories of colonization - we also need histories of decolonization
