Our next seminar: 'Health equity and social justice: Some issues from the perspective of social exclusion and vulnerability' Jenny Popay, Lancaster University
Tuesday 29th May, 2012, Pemberton Room, 1st Floor, Regent Court
Jennie Popay has been Professor of Sociology and Public Health at Lancaster University since January 2002 and is now closely involved in the School of Public Health Research (with ScHARR). Jennie spent 5 years teaching in East Africa and studied social sciences in New Zealand before returning to the UK in 1974 to undertake postgraduate work. She began her research career at the Unit for the Study of Health Policy at Guy's Hospital in London and has worked as a sociologist in the public health field ever since.
Jennie has worked as the co-ordinator of the Global Social Exclusion Knowledge Network (SEKN) established by the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH); with the NICE National Public Health Collaborating Centre on Community Engagement; and in developing methods for synthesising diverse evidence sources. She was also founding convenor of the Campbell Collaboration Process Implementation Methods Group and the Cochrane Collaboration Qualitative Methods Group.
Jennie has used a range of methods in her work but has a particular interest in developing the role of qualitative research in public health including developing methods for the review and synthesis of qualitative research and mixed method studies. Her research interests include social and gender inequalities in health, the sociology of knowledge, public/community engagement in health decision making and the evaluation of complex social interventions.
