TEACHING INTERESTS
I am co-director of the Doctorate of Public Health (DrPH) programme, with Joanna Schellenberg. You can find out more about the DrPH here: https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/study/courses/research-degrees/drph
I am module co-organise of the Sexual Health module, with Pippa Grenfell and Agata Pacho. This module is compulsory for students enrolled on the Reproductive and Sexual Health Research (RSHR) MSc and is elective for students enrolled on other MSc programmes. In addition, the Sexual Health module is available as a standalone module for people not enrolled at LSHTM (https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/study/courses/modules/intensive-modules). On this module I lecture on the role of strutural interventions to improve sexual health and the evaluation of sexual health interventions. I am a member of the RSHR MSc programme committee and exam board.
I lecture on the online Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights module which in a compulsory module for students enrolled on the joint LSHTM and University of Ghana Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy and Programming (SRHPP) MSc. I also lecture on external MSc programmes on a range of topics related to HIV prevention, structural interventions, process and impact evaluation, mixed methods research, and participatory approaches.
I tutor MSc students, usually enrolled on the RSHR, Public Health or Public Health for Global Practice MSc's, and supervise 3-5 MSc summer projects per year. Where appropriate, I suport students to translate their project reports for publication.
I am currently supervising 3 Research Degree students undertaking PhDs and DrPHs focusing on a range of topics but with a particular focus on sexual heatlh.
