Professor Ellen Stewart

  • Professor of Public Policy and Health (Urban Studies)

Biography

Ellen Stewart is a social scientist working at the intersection of medical sociology, health policy and public administration. She joined the University of Glasgow as Professor of Public Policy & Health in 2024, having previously been co-Director of the Centre for Health Policy at the University of Strathclyde (2021-2024), and Chancellor's Fellow in the Centre for Biomedicine, Self & Society at the University of Edinburgh (2016-2021). 

Research interests

My research explores how health systems accommodate and negotiate different forms of ‘lay’ and ‘expert’ knowledge, including demands for public engagement and for evidence-based policy. In 2023 my latest book How Britain Loves the NHS: practices of care and contestation was published by Policy Press.

Current research

  • I lead community engagement for the SIPHER consortium, which develops new modelling tools for policymakers
  • I lead the contemporary work package of a Wellcome Trust Collaborative Award on charity in the NHS since 1948
  • I'm working with Strathclyde's Centre for Health Policy to run a series of witness seminars capturing key reforms in deveolved Scottish health policy
