Ulla McKnight is a Assistant Professor in Sociology at the University of Sussex in the School of Law, Politics and Sociology and Criminology. Her research primarily focuses on the provision of HIV, sexual health and high-risk reproductive care to racialised peoples in the UK.

Ulla finished her PhD in the Sociology Department at Goldsmiths, University of London with a thesis entitled ‘The challenge of HIV within an HIV specialist antenatal clinic in London: providing and receiving care within an HIV diaspora’. Her research to date has shown that technologies used in the management of HIV filter and subsequently reflect and reaffirm — on the level of the body — global issues related to unequal access to advanced biomedical technologies and care.

Drawing on her background as a fine art photographer Ulla’s research interests include creating collaborative multidisciplinary methodological approaches that draw on STS and Feminist theory to explore Black and Minority Ethnic migrant women’s disproportionately high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality in high-resource geographical locations.
