Dr Tess Johnson works with other network members on the philosophy of 'just transitions'. Her focus is on what justice means in the context of antimicrobial stewardship measures, and how different ideas of justice might be usefully applied in different contexts, such that a just transition may look different in different places. More broadly, she is interested in ethical questions surrounding the mitigation of antimicrobial resistance including how coercion features in mitigation measures, and where tensions arise between addressing antimicrobial resistance and addressing other important public health threats.

Specific projects:

  • Conceptual Analysis of a 'Just Transition' for Antimicrobial Resistance
  • Early Career Researchers' collaboration on Justice According to Stakeholders in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Nepal
  • Antimalarial Resistance - a Different Just Transition?
