Biography

Rubina Jasani is a Lecturer at the Humanitarian Conflict Response Institute, with a PhD in Anthropology from the University of Sussex and an MPhil in South Asian Studies from Jawaharlal Nehru University. Her doctoral research focused on moral and material reconstruction in the context of ethnic conflict in India, exploring the intersections of widowhood, sexuality, masculinity, and manhood within these conflicts. Jasani's post-doctoral work at the Health Science Research Institute at Warwick analyzed the representation of black and ethnic minority young people in psychiatric services in Birmingham, specifically their subjective experiences of being sectioned under the mental health act. She developed the award-winning project, 'Women Asylum Seekers Together' (WAST), a user-led organization in Manchester, which explores peer-ethnography research methods with women asylum seekers and creates educational materials for medical schools and nursing colleges regarding asylum seekers' rights. Currently, she is a Co-investigator on a British Academy funded grant studying Islamic Healing Practices in Manchester, and serves on the Board of Trustees for Safety4Sisters, a charity supporting migrant women who are survivors of domestic violence. Her work closely aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
