  My thesis is titled: "Junk for Jesus" - The Commodified Gift: Donation in a Global Economy. The Prospectus is below:The donation of used medical equipment and excess medical supplies is promoted by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as delivering needed goods to provide healthcare to the developing world. The reality is that much of what is received is broken, obsolete or inappropriate. These “donations” have financial and environmental costs associated with them that are paid for by the recipient organizations and the citizens of the receiving countries. The research question is how to create a policy or tool that will give developing countries and recipient organizations the ability to prevent the flow of donated used medical equipment from ending up in their landfills? This thesis will use the theoretical framework of neoliberalism to explain the rise of NGOs taking the place of government and the resulting de-politicization of the public good. The notion that donated used medical equipment maintains its status of being life saving at the end of its lifecycle will be deconstructed through an examination of how neoliberal capitalist ideology of privatization, globalization, and free markets externalize disposal costs and environmental damage to the marginalized Other. A proposal will be made for a policy and tool that will allow recipient countries and organizations to assess the costs versus the benefit value of medical equipment donations that includes their end of life disposal costs to the environment.
