Humanitarian aid; Health services during humanitarian emergencies; Health response to disasters, conflicts and crises; Foreign medical teams; Surgical care in low- and middle-income countries; Global public health; Coordination of humanitarian aid and assistance.

I study the ways in which health needs are established and prioritized during large humanitarian crises such as natural disasters and wars. I specifically focus on understanding and improving public health statistics and information related to the functioning of health systems/services/resources in crises, and population statistics such as mortality surveys and estimates and malnutrition assessments following disasters and wars.

Research information:

I am a political scientist who is interested in health politics and health policy. I have specific interests in how citizens can affect health policy issues. I am especially interested in illnesses that affect marginalized communities, such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C. I am currently completing a SSHRC-funded project on “contested illnesses”, including autism and Multiple Chemical Sensiitivities. My non-health related interests include methods of citizen engagement and citizen participation, the role of the voluntary sector, and the influence of interest groups and social movements.

Research information:

My current research focuses on the relations between transnational economic integration ("globalization") and social determinants of health: the conditions under which people live and work. How is the emergence of a global marketplace affecting opportunities to lead a healthy life? Who wins, and who loses? How will the worldwide financial crisis we are now experiencing affect health disparities between rich and poor?
