About Dr. Bartels
As co-appointed faculty at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, I am involved in international project work and public health research, primarily in conflict and disaster affected areas, with the aim of improving the science and practice of delivering humanitarian aid. Projects have been completed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Darfur, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. Most recent work has focused on sexual violence as a weapon of war and women's health in conflict and post-conflict regions.
