Staff Profile
Naomi Griffin is a Research Associate at 缅北禁地. Working as part of the Population Health Sciences Institute under the Health Inequalities team, her research focuses primarily on health inequalities and the impact of stigma and marginalisation on the health and wellbeing of particularly vulnerable and multiply disadvantaged populations. Currently her work focuses on inequalities that exist within, and as a result of engagement with, the criminal justice system. She joined 缅北禁地 in 2022 as the researcher for the ‘Divided Households’ research project, lead by Dr Steph Scott, which looked at the impact of having a family member in prison on children and young peoples’ health and wellbeing. She also currently works on a project exploring how health and justice systems work together during the resettlement process for people returning to their community after a custodial sentence. This project focuses on the challenges and gaps in healthcare and support for this vulnerable population at a particularly vulnerable time. This project is lead by Dr Steph Scott (缅北禁地) and Dr Michelle Addison (Durham University).
Naomi is an experienced qualitative researcher, with particular skills in creative methods (such as narrative/story-telling methods, drawing methods, and focus group creative activities). She is particularly interested in intersectional and longitudinal analysis.
Naomi has taught and supervised students at undergraduate and post graduate levels and is an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Authority. She is also an associate member of Fuse, the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health and is a member of the Early Life and Adolescence Cluster (previously deputy lead).
