PhD Supervision

I am interested in supervising qualitative research related to:

• third sector service delivery agencies, in particular the relationship between third sector agencies and government;
• rights-based approaches to social policy; and
• social exclusion.

Current projects

Work on intermediate labour markets and third sector service delivery agencies continues through an ARC Linkage Project which will test claims about the advantages of a model of service provision that relies primarily on trust, rather than competition and control to achieve desired outcomes.  The project will also provide an independent review of two key elements in the new generation of employment services. 

I am also involved in another ARC Linkage project which aims to develop a framework that can be used to analyse community strengthening and social inclusion policies from a child-centred perspective.
