Overview
Biography

I provide strategic oversight, coordination and delivery of the Wales Institute of Social & Economic Research, Data & Methods (WISERD) research programmes and I lead the WISERD Hub Professional Services team located at Cardiff University. This team supports WISERD researchers across the WISERD Universities and supports WISERD research and engagement deliverables across Wales and the UK.

Established in 2008, WISERD is a Social Science Research Centre which draws together social science researchers from a number of disciplines including sociology, economics, geography and political science. The Institute is based within five Universities in Wales: Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff, South Wales and Swansea, and works in partnership with other UK Universities.
