Mita Huq

Graduate research assistant

An early career researcher interested in bridging disciplines to tackle complex problems at the nexus of global health, migration, climate, and injustice. While my current work is based in climate change and health, I am developing my growing interest in urban development and strive to apply research methods that prioritize local knowledge and minoritised communities to shed light on the lived experiences of migrant communities and their impact on urban dynamics, and challenge historical inequities.
