Meg Henning

Dr. Henning currently serves as a professor of health sciences at Keene State. She received her master’s in health education from Columbia University and her Ph.D. in public health from Oregon State University, with a focus on international health. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health as Takemi Fellow in International Health. Dr. Henning has worked in Kenya, Botswana, Rwanda, Zambia, and Ethiopia. Her work in Ethiopia focused on leading the Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) effort within the USAID/Ethiopia Mission, a set of practices to help improve development effectiveness. Dr Henning will be working with Dr. Katharina Anton-Erxleben on research titled: “Localization Paradigm and The Nexus of Research Translation” for the Pulte Institute for Global Development Policy and Practice Visiting Associates Program. The work aims to build upon prior learning and research, delving into the intersection of localization, policy, and translation research. The primary focus lies on localization in terms of practice, encompassing elements of research translation. Translation research generates concepts positioned to be on-the-ground solutions to development challenges. The proposed policy audience is to support practitioners with evidence-based approaches to ensure dedicated resources and measures.
