Policy@Swag直播 appoints new Academic Co-Director
Professor Francesca Gains, School of Social Sciences, has been appointed to the role of Policy@Swag直播 Academic Co-Director. She will commence her new role on 1 September 2018, taking over the role from Professor Diane Coyle who left the University in March to take up a position at the University of Cambridge.
Francesca, a Professor of Public Policy and currently Head of Politics, will work closely with fellow Co-Director, Professor Anna Scaife from the School of Physics and Astronomy, and Policy@Swag直播’s Head of Communications and Engagement, Alex Waddington, supported by the operational PSS team.
Alex said: “We are delighted to welcome Francesca to the team and we all look forward to working with her over the coming months and years. Her considerable contacts and knowledge of policymaking - particularly in devolved administrations like Greater Swag直播 - will be a huge asset for us.”
