Short presentation
I am a social scientist and global health educator with degrees in Social Anthropology, Development Studies, Public Health and Pedagogy in Higher Education from UK Universities. I have worked on global health projects in Nepal, Mozambique, Somaliland and Cameroon, and as a global health educator at King's College London. I am a global health lecturer at Uppsala University and currently teach qualitative methods courses and a course titled Politics in Global Health.
Research
I am interested in research related to the politics of global health. My current research is on the role of donor engagement of faith-based organisatons (FBOs) in international health programmes in Cameroon.
I am also interested in research about the quality and impact of global health education, international global health exchanges and medical electives.
