Sandi Dheensa is a visiting senior research fellow in the Clinical Ethics and Law (CELS) research unit. She has expertise in qualitative methods and quantitative survey design.

She previously worked full time in CELS across several studies and has since moved fields into women's rights. A common theme in Sandi’s work is that it has practical relevance. As such she strives to work closely with practitioners and policymakers to see her research findings translated into practice.

Sandi would be happy to hear from anyone who is interested in her work:
