BIO
I am a Medical Anthropologist, researching the social contexts that shape the health and wellbeing of young people. I am based in Zimbabwe, with The Health Research Unit Zimbabwe. My methodological expertise is with ethnographic and participatory qualitative methods. My work is often collaborative, with other anthropologists and social scientists, as well as within interdisciplinary teams, including conducting process evaluations within trials. I was previously based at Zambart in Zambia, where I conducted ethnographic studies with young people living with HIV. I am committed to critical and participatory approaches which value the expertise of communities, and have a keen interest in capacity strengthening.
