Our researchers
With public scholarship I am trying to add complexity to the public narrative. Working closely with the community, I am able to see the effects and impact of my research.
I’ve been encouraged to apply for funding to undertake research that helps make a difference. During this time, I’ve also been supported with great flexibility whilst having a family.
