Professor Céline Miani

Céline Miani is Professor of Social and Gender Epidemiology at the School of Public Health, Bielefeld University, Germany. Her work focuses on gender norms and reproductive health and healthcare, with a particular emphasis on how a gender perspective can inform social epidemiological research. Her recent research has centred on obstetric violence and the perceived quality of maternity care, alongside publications on abortion from a feminist perspective. In 2024, she launched a five-year ERC Starting Grant project on gynecological violence (GYNVEPI: Toward an Epidemiology of Gynaecological Violence). Given the sensitivity of this work, she is deeply engaged in developing robust ethical frameworks that address complex ethical and moral challenges.
