Current research
I am interested in ‘capacity development’, more specifically international research capacity development. I am curious about what kinds of interventions are needed to enable researchers to be the best they can be and what structural support institutions and the wider sector need to provide to facilitate this i.e. what makes for a positive enabling environment for research and researchers both in the UK and internationally.
I am currently drawing on the experiences of the BRECcIA-GCRF project to share with colleagues in the University, the wider HE sector, and to inform a research leaders programme for the University Hospital Southampton.
