We analyze production of knowledge, on the health impacts of mining, carried out in relation to the Canadian International Resources and Development Institute (CIRDI), a university-based organization with substantial extractive industry involvement and links to Canada\u2019s mining-dominated foreign policy. We use a \u201cpolitical ecology of knowledge\u201d framework to situate CIRDI in the context of neoliberal capitalism, neocolonial sustainable development discourses, and mining industry corporate social responsibility techniques. We then document the interactions of specific health disciplinary conventions and knowledges within CIRDI-related research and advocacy efforts involving a major Canadian global health organization. This analysis illustrates both accommodation and resistance to large-scale political economic structures and the need to directly confront the global North governments and sectors pushing extractive-led neoliberal development globally.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Resumen<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>La investigaci\u00f3n sobre los impactos en la salud de la extracci\u00f3n de recursos naturales delata brechas importantes y huellas corporativas y neocoloniales, que plantean dudas acerca de c\u00f3mo se produce la ciencia. Analizamos la producci\u00f3n de conocimiento sobre los impactos en la salud de la miner\u00eda en relaci\u00f3n con el Instituto Canadiense de Desarrollo y Recursos Internacionales (CIRDI, siglas en ingl\u00e9s), una organizaci\u00f3n universitaria que cuenta con participaci\u00f3n sustancial de la industria extractiva y tiene v\u00ednculos con la pol\u00edtica exterior de Canad\u00e1, la cual es dominada por intereses mineros. Utilizamos un marco de \"ecolog\u00eda pol\u00edtica del conocimiento\" para situar a CIRDI en el contexto del capitalismo neoliberal, los discursos neocoloniales de desarrollo sostenible y las t\u00e9cnicas de responsabilidad social corporativa de la industria minera. Luego, documentamos las interacciones entre los conocimientos y convenciones disciplinarias de salud dentro de los esfuerzos de investigaci\u00f3n y promoci\u00f3n relacionados con CIRDI que involucran a una importante organizaci\u00f3n canadiense de salud global. Este an\u00e1lisis muestra tanto la complacencia como la resistencia a las estructuras pol\u00edticas econ\u00f3micas a gran escala, y la necesidad de confrontar directamente a los gobiernos y sectores del Norte global que manejan el desarrollo neoliberal impulsado por la extracci\u00f3n a nivel mundial.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10482911211001051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,11]],"date-time":"2021-03-11T13:54:18Z","timestamp":1615470858000},"page":"48-64","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Mining, Colonial Legacies, and Neoliberalism: A Political Ecology of Health Knowledge Miner\u0131a, legados coloniales y neoliberalismo: una ecolog\u0131a  pol\u0131tica del conocimiento en salud"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1947-5490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ben","family":"Brisbois","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Northern British Columbia, Prince George, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mathieu","family":"Feagan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bjorn","family":"Stime","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isaac K.","family":"Paz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Andina Simon Bolivar, Sucre, Chuquisaca, Bolivia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Berb\u00e9s-Bl\u00e1zquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Gaibor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bol\u00edvar, Guaranda, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Donald C.","family":"Cole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erica","family":"Di Ruggiero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lori","family":"Hanson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Craig R.","family":"Janes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katrina M.","family":"Plamondon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of British Columbia Okanagan, Kelowna, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jerry M.","family":"Spiegel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annalee","family":"Yassi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10482911211001051","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1048291115622222"},{"key":"bibr2-10482911211001051","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.exis.2018.10.017"},{"key":"bibr3-10482911211001051","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eiar.2019.01.002"},{"key":"bibr4-10482911211001051","volume-title":"Fruta del norte: La manzana de la discordia -
