ABOUT ME
I feel a responsibility to engage with students, researchers, policy makers, and the public to share what I learn. As a result my research can be found in academic publications, on websites,Twitter and Facebook as well as in FactSheets and Policy Impact Papers. My research partners are those who have seen the need to tell the stories and advocate for change. See some of the things we have done together on the Research Stories page.
