Description

Dr. Hunt’s research interests are at the intersections of ethics, rehabilitation and global health. His research program focuses on two domains of inquiry: ethics and equity in rehabilitation care, and ethical considerations in humanitarian response to disaster, war and displacement.

Current research projects (selected):

  • Creation of an ethics toolkit for the Humanitarian Innovation Fund
  • Inquiry into community perceptions of the closure of humanitarian projects in the Philippines
  • Ethical issues in rehabilitation care
  • Adaptive capacities and structured health vulnerabilities during disaster
