Dr Greenbrook is a interdisciplinary sociolegal scholar and humanistic psychologist who abductively interweaves the domains of migration medicine and global health with the medical humanities and social sciences. She holds a PhD in law (University of Edinburgh) with a focus on the lived experience of law in medicine, undocumented migration, and physician identity. Prior to her doctoral studies, she completed advanced studies in psychology (University of Liverpool), law and medical ethics (University of Edinburgh), and sociology (University of Gothenburg).

She is also a lead researcher in migration medicine at the School of Public Health and Community Medicine, at the University of Gothenburg’s Institute of Medicine in Sweden. She chairs the international interdisciplinary research platform Borders in Health, Medicine, and Society, and is the principal investigator of the Boundaries Longitudinal Study, a 10-year multi-sited ethnographic exploration of physicians’ lived experiences of their expected involvement in migration control policies and border enforcement practices. Through these various roles, she is active in forwarding empirical findings in applied settings, engaging with the public in medicine, policy, and the humanitarian sector. Beyond her research, teaching, and service, Dr. Greenbrook is also committed to the advancement of those made marginal in academia, as the founder and Chair of Thriving in Academia (TIA). This inclusive global community is open to all, and supports minoritised scholars and researchers on all continents. Through community, TIA seeks to decolonise academia through the countering of epistemic injustice in academic spaces and supporting a thriving diversity of voices across disciplines.
