Jaramillo Ruiz Felipe and Juanita Uribe. 2026. “Epistemic Inertia in Human Rights Expert Bodies: Continuity amid Pluralisation”. Review of International Studies.
In this articule Felipe Jaramillo Ruiz and Juanita Uribe introduce the heuristic of epistemic inertia to complicate narratives of radical rupture in global sites of expertise. In 2006, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), widely celebrated as a radical break from the medical model, which had long framed disability as an individual impairment to be treated by medical doctors. Through the heuristic of epistemic inertia, they examine how, despite adopting a more pluralised expert repertoire, the CRPD Committee retains some deep-seated (neo)liberal assumptions of the medical model.

Littoz-Monnet, Annabelle. 2024. “Knowledge Machineries and their Objects of Expertise. Knowing Bodies, Moves, and Moods through ‘Mobile Health’ Data”. Global Studies Quarterly 4(3).
In this articule, Annabelle Littoz-Monnet argues that the politics of socio-material objects should be examined in relationship with the machineries of knowing these objects are embedded in and also sustain. Objects of expertise are embedded in discursive constructs, material infrastructures, and relationships that “surround” and permeate their production. In turn, such objects give traction to the machineries of knowing that enable their emergence. The article uses the concept of “knowledge machinery,” coined by sociologist of science Karin Knorr-Cetina, to denote a focus on the “machinery” and its “parts” at the same time, or to the “macro” and the “micro,” as highly intertwined and mutually reinforcing in processes of knowledge production Read the full article here.
Littoz-Monnet, Annabelle and Ximena Osorio Garate. 2023. “Knowledge politics in global governance: philanthropists’ knowledge-making practices in global health”, Review of International Political Economy, 31(2): 755-780.
In this article, Annabelle Littoz-Monnet and Ximena Osorio-Garate highlight that philanthropic organizations now shape governance by acting as producers of knowledge. Practicing ‘knowledge philanthropism’, they collect, produce and assemble the data, calculations and research which is used by International Organizations (IOs) to govern problems. In addition, philanthropies craft tools of interpretation, whether concepts, vocabularies, or concrete technological devices that embed these, which are being used for the treatment of the knowledge they themselves produce.
