Researcher's projects

Prof Henne's current work examines the effects of digitising aid and social assistance. She is also leading a collaborative project on gender inclusion in sport, which builds on her earlier sports governance research on health promotion initiatives, performance enhancement, the regulation of fair play (including drug testing and gender verification) and sport for development programming.

With Dr Matt Ventresca, she is writing a book, Violent Impacts: How Power and Inequality Shape the Concussion Crisis, under contract with University of California Press. It looks at how social stratification informs who is more likely to experience traumatic brain injury and how it is understood as a public health problem.
