We are delighted to announce that CRFR co-directors Dr. Emma Davidson and Professor Lynn Jamieson were among the winners of the NCRM 20th Anniversary Impact Prize. Together with their colleagues, Dr. Susie Weller (Oxford University) and Professor Ros Edwards (Southampton University), they received the award for the long-term impact of their work on big qualitative data analysis. The team pioneered a new breadth-and-depth method for analysing large volumes of qualitative data.

CRFR and our partners are delighted to announce our forthcoming series of events for Semester One 2024-2025

Join us to celebrate the book launch of Gender in South Asia and Beyond, celebrating the scholarship of Professor Patricia Jeffery.

In this seminar, which will also be available to join online, Professor Lisa McDaid, Dr Laurel Johnson and Dr Stephanie Wyeth from The University of Queensland will discuss ways of operationalising and implementing resilience science. Drawing on evidence from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Canada, their work seeks to re-think resilience to improve child, youth, family, and community wellbeing within a bio-psycho-socioecological (BPSE) framework. The presentation will highlight emerging research and innovations including the need for placed-based community-led practice to support transitions towards more sustained community resilience.

Congratulations to Thalia Assan for successfully passing her PhD viva with minor corrections: ‘The Politics of Friendship in the Lives of Black Girls and Girls of Colour in Scotland’. Thalia examines the politics of friendship in the lives of Black girls and girls of colour in Scotland. Her work explored the ways that friendship is affected by, contends with, and challenges structural inequalities and power relations.

It is with great pleasure that we share a video of Professor Nancy Lombard’s Professorial Lecture at Glasgow Caledonian University. Titled ‘The Personal is Still Political’, Nancy, who is an Associate Director of CRFR, explores her career of violence against women research through the intersections of gender, class and age. It shows how, through the promotion of gender equality in society, we can help shape and transform approaches to stopping violence against women.
