Rosamund Greiner

I am an feminist researcher, using qualitative, ethnographic, and arts-based methods to investigate reproductive health issues and gendered health inequalities. My research is grounded in the principles of reproductive justice and intersectional feminism.

I currently work as a Research Fellow on the RECENTRE project, which aims to establish an interdisciplinary research network focused on understanding (re)emerging infections in pregnant and lactating people and infants. 

In 2024-2025 I was a Lecturer (teaching) in Global Health at Institute for Global Health at University College London. I was the program co-director for the MSc Global Health and Development, and module lead on Global Health Policy. 

I completed my PhD in the Institute for Global Health at UCL. My supervisors were Dr Jennie Gamlin, Prof Maria Kett, and Prof Sahra Gibbon. 

My doctoral thesis is entitled 'Gender, disability, and care: an ethnographic study of Congenital Zika Syndrome in Barranquilla, Colombia'. I conducted 12 months of data collection with mothers who are full- or part-time family carers to their children. My thesis analyses the intersecting themes of gender, disability, and care under neoliberalism, drawing on critical disability studies and decolonial feminism, with a focus on Latin American perspectives. 

I have presented initial findings of this work at a number of conferences, both in the UK and internationally. 

I previously worked as a Research Assistant on the EVE Project at UCL, and as a researcher for the Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health.  Before starting my PhD, I worked at the University of Exeter as a Research Data Coordinator in the NIHR Global Health Research Group. During my PhD I have contributed to teaching as a module co-lead and a post-graduate teaching assistant within the Institute for Global Health.

In my free time I enjoy open water swimming, cooking vegan food and exploring London.
