Work with me

You can contact me on Sohail.Jannesari@gmail.com. I’ve supported NGOs, research institutes, and policy organisations with:

  • Participatory research with youth organisations, international charities, and survivor-led groups on human trafficking, youth violence, maternity care, refugee and sanctuary seeking issues, mental health, and research ethics.
  • Creative methods including photovoice, interactive poetry, collage, art exhibitions, and body mapping to support public engagement and participatory approaches.
  • Facilitating trauma-informed and survivor-led workshops to enable people with lived experience to meaningful interact with policymakers and NGOs, and influence change.
  • Training on participatory methods, ethical research, qualitative and quantitative analysis, creative methodologies, research design, policy engagement, critical global health, postcolonial theory, conflict and violence, and access to medicines.
  • Co-creating research ethics frameworks for charities and founding Inspiring Ethics, a research group advancing participatory research ethics and supporting researchers with co-production dilemmas.
  • Writing support as co-editor of a Lancet series on Human Trafficking and Health, pioneering a participatory co-authorship model with lived experience contributors. Former founder and Editor-in-Chief of Stolen Tools, a health inequities journal.
  • Supporting evaluation by co-creating service provider outcomes and measure with people with lived experience.
  • Addressing power dynamics in teams and institutions through workshops on inclusion, reflexivity, and intersectionality.

If you have any ongoing or future projects that could benefit from my support, I’d love to arrange a time to discuss how I can contribute. I’m happy to travel and work flexibly to fit your needs.
