Dr Justyna Bandola-Gill
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, University of Edinburgh
Justyna is an interdisciplinary researcher, working at the intersection of Science and Technology Studies and Public Policy. In her research, she explores interactions between science and policy, in particular ways in which knowledge is organised, governed and mobilised across different settings in order to achieve political goals.
Her previous research explored this interplay across different contexts, for example within the so-called research impact agenda in the UK or in various public health policies.
Dr Marlee Tichenor
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, University of Edinburgh
Marlee is a medical anthropologist interested in the politics of evidence and data in global health policy and intervention. Her research focuses on the central role of statistical capacity building in the 2030 Development Agenda and the ways that the ‘Data Revolution’ has been positioned as the means of achieving its complicated goals.
Her previous projects investigated the economic and political frameworks of the global health fight against malaria and its local fight in Senegal, as well as the development of metrics at the World Bank for measuring success in global health projects
