Andrew Gibbs joined HEARD in September 2008 and is a Researcher. Andrew has an MSc in Health, Community and Development from the London School of Economics, UK (LSE) and a BSc in Economics and International Development from Bath University, UK. Prior to joining HEARD Andrew was first a Research Assistant at the Institute of Social Psychology, LSE and then, for two years a Research Fellow at the Centre for HIV/AIDS Networking (HIVAN) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and was involved in analysing their Community Responses to HIV/AIDS Project. His primary area of interest is around how gender inequalities shapes experiences of HIV/AIDS, including community and home-based care, Extensively Drug Resistant TB (XDR-TB), community-led responses to HIV/AIDS and HIV-prevention. He also has an interest in how the media shapes wider understandings of HIV/AIDS and how this enables and limits possible responses. He has published extensively on these topics in journal articles and book chapters. His research is typically explored within a qualitative social psychological framework. Andrew is currently working on: Gender Equality and HIV Prevention, Unplanned ART Interruptions, Occupational Risks for XDR-TB Among Health Care Workers, and the Young Researchers Initiative. |
