Ms Tammy Maclean RN BA MA

Research Degree Student

I initially trained as a Registered Nurse in Vancouver, Canada, and subsequently developed an interest in global issues. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies, and a Master of Arts at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, in Ottawa, Canada. My Master's concentration involved armed conflict analysis and management, and my research explored barriers to treating sexual violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

I currently contribute to the Health Diplomacy Monitor, a publication of the Global Health Diplomcy Network which tracks and reports on global health negotiations. In the past, I was employed with the International Division at the Canadian Public Health Association, working on tobacco control in sub-Saharan Africa. I've also spent several years working as Registered Nurse in various health care environments in Canada and abroad, most recently providing emergency care to survivors of sexual assault and partner abuse.

Affiliation

Teaching

I'm currently involved in teaching activities with LSHTM's Distance Learning Programme, including essay and exam marking and project supervision.

Research

I joined the Gender Violence and Health Centre at LSHTM in 2009. Along with my supervisor and her team, I am involved in a large community control trial in post-conflict Cote d'Ivoire. My research will explore the impact of a male-targeted violence prevention intervention on household gender equality and HIV risk behaviours. This project involves close coordination with our partners on the ground, including International Rescue Committee and Sonke Gender Justice Network.
