Dr Hannah J. Elizabeth
I am a Research Fellow for the Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator Award 'The Cultural History of the NHS' in the Centre for the History of Medicine at the University of Warwick, currently researching late twentieth century lesbian health activism in the Midlands. Before joining Warwick, I worked as a research assistant on the Wellcome Investigator Award, Placing the Public in Public Health: Public Health in Britain, 1948-2010, investigating the role of emotion in public health. I completed my PhD in 2017 at the University of Manchester, it investigated the representation of HIV positive identities to children and adolescents in Britain, 1981-1997. Currently, alongside my research on lesbian health, I am writing a monograph based on my PhD research and preparing to take up my Wellcome Research Fellowship ‘What’s love got to do with it? Building and maintaining HIV-affected families through love, care, and activism in Edinburgh 1981-2016’.
