Nancy is a visiting Fellow, following her PhD in Social Research Methods supervised by Dr Flora Cornish, Dr Audrey Alejandro, and Dr Jen Tarr.
Nancy is a global public health evaluator. She has an MPH from Tulane University and extensive experience working in global public health and development, specifically within the realm of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Nancy's perspective is informed by decolonial methodology to help identify and strengthen links between global public health, international development, anticolonial theory, and gender. From this perspective, she uses qualitative research and evaluation methods - such as discourse analysis, interviews, focus group discussions, community-based participatory research, and community asset-based mapping - to critically examine intervention design and implementation approaches in global public health and development.
Nancy's doctoral thesis focused on collaborating with the community throughout a co-investigation of strengths and weaknesses within current Zambia-based sexual and gender-based violence interventions to therefore provide community repowering and liberatory recommendations for strengthening.
