Dr Charlotte Godziewski

Overview

Dr Charlotte Godziewski is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in International Politics. She joined City, University of London in 2022 from Aston University, Birmingham, UK. She earned her PhD in 2020 from the University of Sheffield, in the Department of Politics and International Relations. Charlotte is one of the coordinators of the UACES-funded research network on EU Health Governance.

Charlotte’s research explores the politics of health, specifically the politics of framing health issues and defining what constitutes health promotion. She has explored these puzzles with an empirical focus on EU institutions, analysing ‘health promotion’ as a site of tension between the social and economic logics of EU integration. She is particularly interested in how knowledge production, the politics of evidence, and the relationship between research and policy, shape the governance of health.

Her interest in the politics of health developed while working as a dietitian in Nepal between 2012 and 2014, where she contributed to setting up a nutrition department in Dhulikhel at the Kathmandu University Teaching Hospital. After coming back to Europe, she worked as a policy intern for Food and Agriculture at the European Public Health Alliance while completing her MSc Global Health degree at Maastricht University.

Charlotte is currently teaching IPM108 Global Governance, and coordinates the IPM111 MA Dissertation module.
