Erin joined King’s in September 2023, this is her first post in an academic institution, having spent over 20 years working in the voluntary sector as a youth worker and community development worker. Her most recent role was at a local Healthwatch in south London, helping patients and the public to have their say on how health and care services in their area are run, and acting in the role of ‘critical friend’ to NHS and social care colleagues to help them interface with services users, carers and their local populations in the most fair and productive way possible.

Erin gained her Masters in Applied Anthropology, Community and Youth Work at Goldsmiths College (University of London) in 2013 which covered anthropological research methods as well as community work praxis. Her BA was in Design for performance from Wimbledon College of Art (University of the Arts London).
