Research interests

Broad Research Interest

As a qualitative social scientist, my research focuses on the politics of health inequalities. I pay particular attention to the real-life experiences of individuals dealing with illness and the challenges faced by healthcare providers working in complex health systems. My focus on the practical implications of health politics brings diverse stakeholders' voices to various health-related communication campaigns and policy interventions. 

Specific Expertise

Antimicrobial Resistance  

I have particular research interests in Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). As part of the interdisciplinary team Supporting the National Action Plan on AMR (SNAP-AMR) in Tanzania, we have been able to contribute to the Tanzanian National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (2023-2027) and develop the SNAP-AMR Communication Toolkit sharing the evidence-based communication campaigns co-produced, delivered and evaluated as part of SNAP-AMR.

Stakeholder Engagement 

I have experience and interest in policy stakeholder engagement and workshop facilitation. As part of this, Dr. Jennika Virhai and I have developed the open-access Activating Research for Change Toolkit (image below). This resource is designed to unite diverse stakeholders in envisioning and planning the necessary steps and resources for collaborating and driving change.
