Pippa Grenfell

I have worked at LSHTM since 2007. My work focuses mostly on how legal, political, social, cultural and economic contexts shape the safety, health and rights of marginalised groups and communities, particularly sex workers. My primary expertise is in qualitative methods but I also work in collaboration with colleagues across diverse disciplines to carry out mixed methods research. I'm committed to critical, feminist, participatory approaches which value the knowledge and expertise of communities, and which challenge the boundaries between the 'academy' and the 'community'. I have a PhD (Public Health Sociology) and an MSc (Control of Infectious Diseases) from LSHTM, and a BSc (Biological Sciences) from the University of Edinburgh. Prior to joining LSHTM, I worked with Merlin (now Save the Children) in Myanmar and with the Health Protection Agency (now Public Health England) in the UK. - https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/aboutus/people/grenfell.pippa
