Portrait of Sohail Jannesari

Dr SOHAIL JANNESARI

I’m a Research Fellow at King’s College London and a Senior Teaching Fellow at Imperial College London. I lead the anti-racist Stolen Tools journal, co-convene the Inspiring Ethics group, and founded the Migrant Connections Festival. I research migration and mental health, and have worked on outcomes for survivors of human trafficking. As a freelance consultant I’ve worked on violence affected youth, maternity experiences, supporting torture survivors, mapping out migration services and designing a community-based ethical review. I use/train on ethical, participatory and creative methods (e.g. photovoice and poetry). I’m a qualitative methods expert and host the Qualitative Open Mic podcast. I’ve given keynotes on decolonial research methods at research conferences and have made media appearances on the BBC and LBC.
