Emily Elderfield

I am a research assistant in the research group Global Child Health and the Sustainable Development Goals. Prior to joining Karolinska Institutet, I worked in various NGOs on operational research projects in international development and humanitarian assistance. I am particularly interested in how research intersects advocacy and policy-making. My previous experience includes projects on maternal healthcare, child nutrition, social and behavioural change in refugee settings, and health communication in multilingual communities. 

I hold a Master's in International Development and Management from Lund University and my thesis explored discourses of violence and abuse during childbirth.
