Sophie Webb studies the pathway from ethics to implementation in public health. She is interested in understanding how decisions made in allocating and prioritizing limited health resources can impact health inequities. Her current research uses an interdisciplinary approach to investigate different prioritization schemes of the COVID vaccine. She is also interested in feminist theory, specifically the politics and ethics of care, which enriches her understanding of the multifaceted implications of globalization on various societal structures and practices
