Dr. Joanna Reynolds FHEA
Senior Lecturer in Sociology
Summary
I am a researcher and lecturer in public health and social science.
About
I teach on the MSc Public Health and BA Sociology and have experience teaching public health methods and principles to a range of students.
I have particular interest in teaching research methods and currently lead the dissertation module on the MSc Public Health. My research interests are varied, falling under the broad heading of 'critical' public health.
My current areas of research include: community empowerment, community engagement and involvement in policy and decision-making, and alcohol policy.
My broader research experience also includes: the social determinants of health, health inequalities, evaluation methods for 'complex interventions', and global health issues including malaria and anti-microbial resistance. I am also a keen qualitative methodologist, and reflecting my disciplinary background in anthropology, I have interests in applications of ethnography in health and policy research.
