British Muslims, Ethnicity and Health Inequalities

Dr Sufyan Abid Dogra does the anthropology of modern Britain and works as a Principal Research Fellow at Bradford Institute for Health Research. He explores ways to encourage healthy dietary habits and enhance physical activity among children and young people from ethnic/religious minorities in the UK. He conducted a pioneering research on how mosques/madrassas can be used for health promotion in the UK. His interests are connecting the dots between art, culture, ethnicity, religion, health, and diversity to coproduce research with young people to influence public policy. He views art, culture, poetry, spirituality and music as sites of creating synergies for active civic life, better mental health and happiness of young people living with inequalities in Britain.
