Research

I am currently researching the concept of One Health, which the One Health High Level Expert Panel has defined as “an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals, and ecosystems”.

My research includes conceptual analysis of One Health, to understand what research questions, methods and aims are included (and excluded) in this approach, whether it contains logical or ethical inconsistencies, and to what extent it differs from (and overlaps with) competing concepts such as Planetary Health, Global Health, and Veterinary Public Health.

Alongside this epistemological research, I will engage with ethical questions such as whether One Health is best understood as an egalitarian or hierarchical concept, as an ideal or a non-ideal concept, and whether the concept itself or its practical applications ought to be tweaked.
