Show profile Hide profileJudith King:- currently Copy and Content Editor at Health Systems Trust; a writer and editor of academic, corporate, creative and mainstream outputs with over 25 years' experience. Building on a formative career in the tertiary education and private sectors, I have developed a solid background in serving the needs of research-orientated NGOs specialising in public health, social and behavioural science and human rights.
My communications portfolio has covered research, commentary and critique; materials development; media advocacy, monitoring and analysis; proposal writing and committee documentation; lecturing, capacity-building and counselling; illustration, photography and design. I am well-versed in participatory methods of life-writing, Writeshop training (turning case-studies into case-stories), and narrative methods of qualitative monitoring and evaluation. My specialist focus areas are HIV and AIDS, public health, gender and human rights, business ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility, youth development and community engagement, and I offer strong operational skills in strategic programming, leadership direction and governance reporting.
I hold two Master's degrees from the University of KwaZulu-Natal: one in Comparative and Applied Ethics (2005), focusing on a communitarian model for the private sector response to HIV and AIDS based on the King II Report, and another in English Studies for Creative Writing (2009), my thesis being a novel manuscript which was awarded cum laude.
I am a published author, having co-written an article on branding breastmilk in The Lancet (2009) and a chapter in a book (Access to Medicines as a Human Right, 2012), as well as my own chapter on AIDS-conscious marketing in the African Journal of Rhetoric (2010). I was primary editor of a book on HIV technical support (2009), and co-editor of a book on capacity development for the HIV response (2010), both commissioned by UNAIDS Technical Support Facility.
My personal professional focus is on a PhD in Lifewriting (documenting the life of a public sector primary healthcare intervention in South Africa), whilst editing - inter alia - Health Systems Trust's two flagship annual resources, the District Health Barometer and the South African Health Review.
