We chat with Chloe Asker about their background as a creative researcher and how they’ve been able to use their research background and apply it to public health research. We also learn more about how these methods were used in a recent project Chloe was involved with that explored how people travel in rural coastal regions of England. 

Karen and Charan talk to Jennie Parnham and learn more about her work on understanding how ultra-processed foods are represented in the media. Along with learning about her next stages of research as she begins her fellowship.

Karen and Charan discuss the difference between quantitative and qualitative work. They share how their research fits into these categories and what type of data can be generated from these different methods.

After finishing her upgrading process, Karen discusses her plans of research on ultra-processed foods, health inequalities and the environment. 

Charan dives into her research on food insecurity, and her work on using systems thinking with communities, in an interesting discussion that involves the role of government and the third sector on tackling this issue. 

Meet Karen and Charan as they share their paths into the world of PhD research in public health – why they chose this journey, the challenges so far, and what to expect from the podcast.

In this episode, we chat with Amy Johnson, SPHR Communications Manager, about the vital role of communication in public health, and how to make research accessible to everyone.
