Georgia Venner holds a Master in Public Health from the University of Alberta and is a PhD candidate at the LSHTM. Working in both academia and an independent humanitarian consultant, Georgia focuses on using social science and interdisciplinary evidence to highlight the social and political dimensions of humanitarian crises. Her PhD research focuses on social dynamics, improvisations of care, and power dynamics of frontline healthcare workforces when responding to infectious disease outbreaks in the Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh. She has also served as a social science Research Fellow at LSHTM for various projects spanning South Sudanese refugee health workers' experiences in Uganda, public health capacity building in Ukraine, RCCE and Ebola in Sierra Leone, and COVID-19 in UK schools. Previously, she worked as a Project Manager with a humanitarian INGO overseeing large-scale health programmes, and has recently contributed to a mixed-methods study exploring how to strengthen humanitarian learning in new and emerging crises with UKHIH and AlNAP.
