Sabrina Germain

Dr Sabrina Germain is a Senior Lecturer at the City Law School. She is the co-coordinator of the Centre for Law & Social Change and a member of the Centre for Healthcare Innovation Research (CHIR).

Dr Germain’s research interests are in the field of healthcare law and bioethics. Using a socio-legal approach she focuses on questions of distributive justice (resource allocation issues and importance of rhetoric of justice) in healthcare law and policy.

Her current research projects look at healthcare and gender issues, specifically addressing women’s ability to accessing healthcare services in different contexts. She collaborates with Dr Adrienne Yong (City Law School) on a project focusing on heightened barriers to accessing healthcare services for ethnic minority and migrant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is also involved in a research impact project that brings together academics (CUHK & City Law School), practitioners and activists (iProbono) with a view of advancing reproductive and sexual rights through legal design and comparative law methods. The project focuses on both changes to the legal system and the implementation of existing rights to foster better access reproductive and sexual health services for women in Nepal.
