Dr Anna Powell is a Research Fellow in the School of Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University. She is working concurrently on two projects: a) After the end: Lived experiences and aftermaths of Diseases, Disasters, and Drugs in global health, which is funded by the Wellcome Trust, and b) Understanding and responding to influenza vaccine hesitancy in ethnically diverse and marginalised groups in the UK, funded by The Pandemic Institute. Dr Powell co-founded the research group “AlcoLab” along with other LJMU researchers interested in conducting research on the drivers and effects of alcohol use. This group meets informally once a month to discuss their research, grant applications, influential papers within the field, and barriers to / issues to consider when conducting alcohol research.
