Luisa Enria is Assistant Professor in the Department of Global Health and Development at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Her research draws on political anthropology to study violence, humanitarianism, health emergencies and knowledge production in epidemic preparedness. Her PhD research at the University of Oxford Department of International Development focused on experiences of unemployment and post-war political violence amongst young people in Freetown. She currently works on a number of projects looking at community experiences of epidemics, preparedness and biomedical research in Sierra Leone—including conducting ethnographic research with the Ebola vaccine trials, a study on the political economy of vaccine deployment and a social science training for Community Health Workers to explore vaccine confidence and experiences of COVID-19. Luisa currently holds a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship titled “Crisis of Confidence: The Politics of Evidence and (Mis)Trust in Epidemic Response and Preparedness”.
