Snapshots podcast: episode eight - Dr Anne-Sophie Jung

Snapshots is the podcast from the Global Health Working Group, hosted by co-convenor of the working group Christopher Long. Through personal discussions with leading academics, Snapshots reveals the nature of work and life in global health. 

In episode eight, Christopher talks to Dr Anne-Sophie Jung. Dr Jung talks about how she got into researching global health, some of the political nature and hierarchies, and what impact studying global health can have on policy and practice (or not). 

Anne-Sophie goes on to discuss some of the challenges of doing interdisciplinary work, including how words can mean different things in IR and in Global Health. She also discusses which theories have been helpful in developing her work and high priority issues coming up in the area. 

Dr Anne-Sophie Jung joined POLIS at the University of Leeds in 2022 from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Her research focuses on global governance (for health) and health systems.

A new episode of Snapshots will be published every two to four weeks. Keep an eye on the Global Health Working Group webpages for more information.
