Rosaleen Cunningham
Research communications. Interested in international development, migration, humanitarian & media research. Comms at @oxpolicyengaged.bsky.social at the University of Oxford but views mine or of someone more articulate. Very Irish.
- "....In reality, the ‘truth’ around a policy problem can be uncertain. It will be contested in good faith by experts and in bad faith by lobbyists, in high stakes contexts..." www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Fascinating to hear what's happening at home at the research-to-policy interface. #FOMO
- Calling all @ox.ac.uk folk interested in knowing more about policy outputs, come join me at this hands-on workshop next week!
