About Me

My name is Eric Green, and I am a postdoctoral research fellow with the New York University School of Medicine and Bellevue Hospital in the Program for Survivors of Torture. I earned a doctorate in Clinical-Community Psychology from the University of South Carolina in 2008. While at USC, I also earned a Masters degree in Psychology (2004) and a Master's degree in International Studies (2006). I am an alumnus of Bucknell University (2002) where I studied psychology.

Research

I study global health, development, and humanitarian challenges from a social-ecological perspective. Key features of my work include:

Setting-level measurement and intervention
Geospatial technologies (e.g., geographic information systems, satellite imagery)
Participatory methods
Mixed-methods (e.g., household surveys, qualitative interviews, spatial data collection, multi-media)

Projects
Participatory Mapping and the Social Ecology of HIV -- (In Development)
I am working with Dr. Eve Puffer and WISER to develop a participatory mapping project in Muhuru Bay, a small fishing village on the shore of Lake Victoria in Kenya. As part of WISER's efforts to build a girls' boarding school and a research center in Muhuru Bay, Dr. Puffer is developing a multi-level HIV prevention intervention for adolescents. We are hoping to add a participatory mapping component to better understand how the social and physical environment enhance or restrict youths' abilities to avoid HIV. This work could ultimately inform the development of a setting-level HIV prevention intervention.	View Larger Map
Women's Income Generating Support Program (WINGS) -- (2009-2011)
WINGS is a micro-enterprise development program supporting young women in northern Uganda following two decades of war. Dr. Chris Blattman, Dr. Jeannie Annan, and I are working with AVSI to conduct a 3-year impact evaluation of the program. This project will evaluate the overall impact of the program on economic activity, social capital, and empowerment in addition to the relative impact of individual program components.	View Larger Map
Communities in Transition -- (2007)
I completed eight months of fieldwork in Northern Uganda where I studied mass internal displacement and community transitions. I used multiple methods (household surveys, geographic information systems, in-depth interviews, Photovoice project) to investigate various aspects of population movement and well-being. This project was innovative in its use of PDAs for data collection, spatial data (GIS, GPS, satellite images) for sampling and data analysis, and participatory documentary photography for data collection and social change efforts. More information about this project can be found at: www.displacedcommunities.org.	View Larger Map
