Research Fellow and Impact Lead, Institute for Economic and Social Inclusion
I'm a researcher interested in testing theory, developing methodology, and using what are conventionally identified as "academic" findings to resolve real-world problems. My work in the Institute for Economic and Social Inclusion draws on my varied career history in academia, research impact, and consultancy. From 2018-2021 I was responsible for research impact at the University of Sunderland, including delivery of the impact component of the REF 2021 submission.
I have a discipline-agnostic interest in research. This is reflected in the wide range of topics I've studied, from theoretical linguistics and network theory to vaccine hesitancy and education spending.
