Marsha Henry’s research interests focus on three main areas: gender, 'race' and health; gender, development and militarisation; and feminist, diasporic and qualitative methodologies. Her doctoral research focused on reproductive decision-making amongst middle-class women in India and her postdoctoral research was concerned with immigration medical exams in Canada. Over the past five years, she has concentrated on examining the social experience of living and working in peacekeeping missions. Her future research interests are to explore the experiences of female peacekeepers from the Global South. For a number of years she has been thinking and writing about the fieldwork challenges faced by the 'unconventional' researcher.
Dr Henry has a STICERD Small Grant (2011-2012) for 'Engendering Peacekeeping: The Experiences of Indian Women Peacekeepers'.
