Personal profile

Research Interests

My research interests are in early childhood interventions including a specific focus on literacy and numeracy, quantitative methods and the effectiveness of educational interventions. My PhD involved the design and evaluation of a numeracy intervention programme using an RCT and since then I have worked on a number of RCTs evaluating literacy interventions in both Primary and Secondary Schools. 

I am also part of the SWAN team at the School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work.

 

Projects

The NIHR Global Health Research Group on Early Childhood Development for Peacebuilding (2018-2020). 

This £2m global research programme is funded by the National Institute for Health Research and represents a strategic partnership with UNICEF, Yale, Harvard and New York Universities. LINKS is directly supporting and coordinating research teams in six low- and middle-income countries to develop and evaluate early childhood programmes that seek to contribute to sustainable development and peacebuilding (Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Mali, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste and Vietnam). 

 

Community-Based Early Childhood Interventions for Improving Developmental Outcomes for Children Aged 0-7: A Systematic Review (2015-2016) Funder: The Atlantic Philanthropies/Bernard van Leer Foundation
