Sally Theobald has a disciplinary background of geography and development studies and a PhD in Gender, Health and Development. Sally is a social scientist with over 25 years experience of collaborative research projects focusing on health systems strengthening in different contexts (including in fragility and in informal urban settlements) in Africa and Asia.
What do leaders look like in global health? What if our models and stereotypes are wrong? With 20 years experience of and learning of leadership in global health, Sally finds that leadership in global health is diverse and multi-layered and often female. She showcases different types of leadership that are too often unrecognised – within households and communities in the global south; collective solidarity leadership in urban slums and compassionate and resourceful leadership in war.
