Overview
My research aims to improve collaborative relationships between public bodies and with civil society, to enhance the capacity for sustainable national well-being.
I am currently working with the University's civic engagement team, to strengthen collaboration between the University and Public Services Boards in Wales.
To do this, I am building on the collaborative relationships formed with public bodies and civil society during my PhD. Through participatory webinars, workshops and group discussions, we are finding ways to build on the research findings and co-write policy briefings.
I am also working with other researchers in the School to co-author papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals. These focus on the key findings of my PhD research and the participatory approach to dissemination.
