University of Bristol Lead: Professor Gene Feder, Population Health Sciences, Bristol Medical School
Institutional Partner Lead: Professor Ana Flavia d'Oliveira, University of São Paulo, Brazil
Additional collaborators include Drs Natalia Lewis and Sandi Dheensa at Bristol, and Drs Loraine Bacchus and Manuela Colombini from LSHTM.
Two early career researchers (ECRs) Drs Nagham Joudeh (An-Najah) and Muzrif Munas (Peradeniya), will join Dr Dinusha Pereira (Peradeniya) in person, and all other ECRs will join online using hybrid meeting facilities in the Verdon-Smith International seminar room, Royal Fort House.
HERA is a NIHR-funded global health collaboration between the University of Bristol, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Kathmandu University, University of Sao Paulo, An-Najah University, and University of Peradeniya.
Professors Feder and d'Oliveira have been instrumental in establishing the domestic violence and abuse and health services field in the UK, Latin America, and beyond.
Activity will include a week-long writing workshop which will will enable work to be conducted on journal articles, each day will include a combination of collaborative analysis of qualitative data, focused writing sessions with goal setting and reflection, and synchronised writing in Google docs.
The workshop will strengthen the existing multilateral partnerships, specifically by supporting ECRs’ engagement in lead- and co-authoring papers and amplifying their current collaboration’s impact. The workshops will develop and advance the GBV field through high-impact publications, which in turn will influence research, policy, and practice.
The workshop will also foster research capacity strengthening in LMICs and help to tackle structural (including Anglo-centric colonial) barriers that prevent LMIC researchers publishing in international English-language journals.
Please contact Dr Sandi Dheensa if you would like to find out more about this activity.
