The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Research Amid Poverty, Disease, War, and Death

This essay presents a personal reflection on health communication research conducted in Lebanon amid poverty, disease, war, and the constant shadow of death. Through scenes of displacement, fear, and loss, it shows how crisis carves itself into the body and the work. This is a record of knowledge made under fire, and an invitation to confront what scholarship demands when the ground itself is not stable.
