Biography

Juliana is relatively new to the CPC Learning Network. As an associate professor at the Mailman School of Public Health, she currently teaches Public Health and Humanitarian Action (PHHA), which delves into a ‘contested humanitarianism.’ Juliana is keen to examine the critical questions, and assumptions underpinning humanitarian response in the short term, and development… in the long run. This is with a view to progressively improve the approaches, programs, and policies we use to effectively reduce inequities. Juliana’s prior work experience was in maternal and child health; she spent 5 years working in health systems strengthening programs in South Sudan, aimed at reducing maternal and child morbidity and mortality. Her primary focus has been on identifying methods to evaluate large scale programs, using routine or observational data. Understanding that children’s health and wellbeing does not accrue merely due to the absence of disease or infirmity, she is keen to apply these approaches within the CPC. Juliana speaks English and Kiswahili and is still trying to figure out the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.
