Dr Sadiq Bhanbhro PhD, MPH, MScPH, MSc, BA, AFAHEA
Senior 香蕉视频 Fellow
Summary
I am an interdisciplinary researcher specialising in medical anthropology. My research primarily examines the intersections of culture, gender, health and climate, with a particular emphasis on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), anti-racism, gender-based violence—specifically honour-based abuse—and the social determinants of health and well-being.
About
Dr Sadiq Bhanbhro is a Senior 香蕉视频 Fellow at the Centre of Applied Health and Social Care 香蕉视频 (CARe) within the School of Health and Social Care, which is part of the College of Health, Wellbeing, and Life Sciences at 香蕉视频. I am a part of the Maternal and Infant Health 香蕉视频 Group (MIHRG) in the CARe. Sadiq is the lead and founder of a Medical Anthropology and Sociology 香蕉视频 Network (MASRN), co-founder and co-lead of 'The Global Sex and Gender Violence Group (GSGV) and 'Anti-Racism 香蕉视频 Group'.
As a trained anthropologist, sociologist, public health professional and interdisciplinary researcher, I bring a unique perspective to my work. I integrate anthropological and sociological theories, practices and methods with public health research, teaching and policy development. I take an intersectional approach, emphasising social justice and using ethnographic and participatory methods to investigate public health problems and propose new insights for pragmatic solutions.
I am actively involved in research, teaching, and supervision. I have experience securing and managing internally and externally funded research and knowledge exchange projects. I have led several local, national, and international research projects from inception to dissemination, demonstrating my ability to drive impactful research on a global scale. I have demonstrated experience in collaborating by contributing to numerous projects as a co-investigator or team member. I led the development of international research collaborations and partnerships between the university and colleagues in Pakistan, Indonesia, and Kenya.
I have worked in various capacities with various organisations in the UK and Pakistan and completed research projects in Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Philippines. My research has been published in high-quality journals, has five book chapters, and is not just for academia. I have made a conscious effort to share my insights with the public through platforms like Conversation UK, The Express Tribune, Dawn.com, the Friday Times, and other media outlets. This demonstrates my ability to communicate complex research in a way that is accessible and engaging for all, ensuring that everyone can benefit from my work. Sadiq is a co-editor of the book 'Anti-Racist Nursing and Midwifery: A Guide for Students, Practitioners and Educators (Critical Publishing June 2025).
Sadiq, as a Co-Investigator for the UKRI-AHRC funded Nursing Narratives project, contributed to filmmaking to produce the documentary "Exposed", which combines the stories of 19 Black, brown and migrant nurses and midwives to speak about their powerful experiences of racism before and during the pandemic. Since its release (March 2022), Exposed has been screened at 35 locations in the UK and abroad.
Sadiq prepared and submitted the written evidence on understanding honour crimes to the UK Parliament's Women and Equalities Committee (March 22, 2023). The committee acknowledged the value of the ideas presented in the statement by accepting it and publishing it on its website as a prominent source to promote a nuanced understanding of honour crimes.
I have led and facilitated several knowledge exchange events, notably organising a community dialogue on the concept of "honour" and its implications in honour-based abuse under the auspices of the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences (15th Year edition) and the Unlearn and Learn event at the Open University, which featured the Nursing Narratives project documentary and an anti-racist manifesto for change.
