Henry works principally in the area of more-than-human geographies, notably animal geographies. He is involved in a number of national and international research projects and professional activities that seek to bring a critical social science understanding to issues associated with farm and working animal health and welfare in contemporary production systems and food supply chains, including, most recently, the use of antimicrobial medicines in livestock systems in different countries around the world. He also works on issues of wild species re-introduction and upon the conceptual and methodological approaches to social science framings and understandings of human/animal interactions. Henry leads the cross-council AMR Theme 4 ESRC-funded Diagnostic Innovation and Livestock (DIAL) consortium with the University of Bristol and the University of Edinburgh.
