About
Asha Herten-Crabb is Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick. She completed her PhD in International Relations at LSE in 2024.
Her research investigates how contemporary global governance reproduces and legitimises structural inequalities.

Asha’s interdisciplinary background includes a BA in Philosophy, a BSc (Hons) in Genetics and Immunology, a Master of Human Rights Law from the University of Melbourne, and an MSc in Infectious Disease Control from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
