About

Dr. Keerty Nakray is an academic, researcher, administrator, consultant and author specializing in the sustainable development goals (SDGs); the environment; social governance; diversity, equality, and inclusion; comparative welfare and social policies; gender and social policy; and children and disability. She has edited and authored over 40 evidenced-based publications on a wide variety of those topics. She has extensive expertise in evidence-based research and feminist approaches to preventing gender-based violence and public health. She has developed and implemented intervention training for healthcare providers on identifying and referring victims of violence and abuse. Specifically, her work serves hard-to-reach groups (survivors of violence and abuse, child brides, impoverished populations) using mixed methods, quantitative surveys, and participatory community/action, research, and feminist approaches. Keerty received her PhD from Queens University, Belfast. Among her many publications, she is co-editor of Social and Economic Transitions in China and India: Welfare and Policy Changes; Social Science Research Ethics for a Globalising World: Interdisciplinary and Cross- Cultural Perspectives (Routledge Advances in Research Methods); and Gender-Based Violence and Its Impact on Public Health: International Perspectives on Budgets and Policies.
