I am professor of Society and Belief in the Law, Media and Gender Studies department at SOAS, University of London. I team-managed SOAS’s recent very successful REF impact submission. My work represents a clear paradigm shift in British parliamentary relations with Higher Education by supporting knowledge creation between mainstream universities and Westminster. My small HEIF funded research team and I have developed a project with blog (Influencing the Corridors of Power (ICOP)) that communicates influential one-page briefings to each member of both Houses of Parliament on urgent topics, written by experts from SOAS, from law firms and from medical experts.
