Dr. Miranda Bain is a global health policy and systems researcher whose work examines the political and power dynamics shaping health equity, with a particular focus on marginalized health issues and crises, gender, and the governance of care systems. She recently completed her PhD at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where her dissertation analyzed the political factors influencing sexual and reproductive health policymaking in Chile. Her research spans global and national policy processes, community-based health systems, and the intersections of gender, rights, and governance. Dr. Bain has contributed to multi-country studies on sexual violence against children, Indigenous systems of care in the United States, gender data collection technologies in Colombia and Uganda, and abortion policymaking across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. She has also worked with organizations including the World Health Organization, Ipas, UNHCR, and the Women’s Refugee Commission. Across her work, Dr. Bain integrates qualitative research and social science theory to inform more ethical, equitable, and responsive health policy and practice.
