Ms Harriet Dwyer

Research Student - MPhil/PhD - Public Health & Policy

United Kingdom

My PhD uses qualitative methods at the intersection of political science and anthropology to explore the root causes of the spread (mis)information in humanitarian crisis contexts through the lens of vaccination campaigns.

I have spent the last decade involved in humanitarian response as an advocate and storyteller for UNICEF and WHO across the Middle East, West Africa, Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific. I have an MSc (Public Health) from LSHTM and a Masters in International Relations from Monash University, Australia.
