Sheena Asthana, Professor of Health Policy in the School of Law, Criminology and Government

Most people believe we have a universal NHS, where everyone has equal access to care. But by prioritising healthcare inequalities, economists have diverted funding for health care away from those who need it most – the elderly

Hugo de Rijke is Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Law.

We take for granted our access to justice – we pick up the phone, a police officer knocks on the door, and the process begins. In most areas of Sierra Leone, that is a complete rarity, so it is great to be able to contribute to positive change

Dr Victoria Hurth, Associate Professor in Marketing

We are lacking a common language and vision of the role marketing can play in creating a sustainable society. This allows greenwashing to be rife and undermines the business case for sustainable business models – and the critical role of marketing in this

Dr Zoë James, Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Criminology and Criminal Justice

When people live in poverty for a long period of time, their ability to sustain change is low. If you’ve spent the last 25 years not knowing how to behave, then trying to address those issues can be hugely challenging

Andreas Walmsley, Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Hospitality, Events and Tourism
