Profile
I am a Senior Lecturer in Global Health Policy at the Centre for Global Public Health. I am the Programme Director of the Centre’s BSc Global Health.
I received my PhD in International Relations in 2006 and have been teaching and researching global health since. I have become increasingly active in the global climate change movement, both as an educator and also more directly. I am a keen blogger and ‘tweeter’ – you can read my posts at andrewharmer.org or follow me @andrew_harmer.
