Helena M
Constante

Helena’s research interest has been in mapping inequities in health and healthcare outcomes. She has recently focused her work on ways to dismantle structural oppression by studying how intersecting forms of marginalisation affect intersectional groups. She holds a PhD in Epidemiology and Public Health from University College London (UCL/UK, 2019) and an MSc in Public Health from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC/Brazil, 2014). After her PhD, she was granted two Fellowships funded by the two main research funders in Brazil (CAPES and CNPq). The projects she wrote aimed to measure racial and intersectional inequities in health and dental services using a contextual approach to understand these injustices. She also worked for the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ/Brazil) as a Data Analyst and in three UCL Departments (Research Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, Political Science Department, and Institute of Neurology) as a Teaching Assistant in quantitative methods and statistics for undergraduate and graduate students.
