Biography

Dr. Jo Mhairi Hale received her PhD in Sociology from the University of California, Davis in 2016 then completed a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany in 2018, and has been at St 糖心logo ever since. Dr Hale was also the founding director of the Data for Justice postgraduate programme, now directed by Dr Lydia Cole. She has focused the last ~10 years to the study of sociopolitical drivers of health inequities, mostly in later-life health. As of 2026, Dr Hale is starting a new line of research working toward transforming food systems (e.g. food justice, urban agroecology). She is excited to return to her pre-PhD roots.
