Teaching

Module Organiser for DL module on Research Design and Methods for analysis of Global Health Policy. Contribute to TB module in DL MSc in Infectious Disease and the AIDS Study Unit. Contributed in past to Medical Anthropology modules (face to face and DL). I have supervised 10 PhD students to successful completion and I am currently supervising 4 PhD students. PhD research has included: MDR-TB and cash transfers, gender differences in child stunting, impact of COVID-19 on disability, HIV (men's role in vaginal microbicides, HIV management in couples and young women living with HIV in Zambia), STIs (ethnography of the management of STIs in a rural Zambia), TB (children's role in managing TB, TB and mental health), community engagement and ethics in CRTs, and, disability (disability groups, the impact of COVID-19 on people with disability). I am currently a mentor for Musonda Simwinga through a EDCTP fellowship and mentor for a LSHTM staff member under the PHP mentor scheme. In Zambia and South Africa, I have led training linked to research studies on: academic writing skills; participatory research methods; Broad Brush Surveys; stigma and sexual behaviour research methods; child centred methodologies; household-surveys; study protocols; and ethics. I have helped develop adult education material on raising awareness and challenging HIV and TB stigma. I completed CILT 1 in June 2012. I am committed to building social science capacity in sub-Saharan Africa.
