Carers research group

Nationally and internationally, carers’ profile has increased dramatically in recent years – in public discourse, policy and practice. This cross -university research group was established in light of the growth in recognition of carers, their needs and the importance of supporting them.  Our interdisciplinary members collaborate on a wide range of carer-related scholarship and research projects, publications and resources. In addition, we have strong links with government departments and a number of local, national and international bodies.

The Chairs are Dr Jitka VseteckovaDr Kerry Jones and each leads a different research subgroup.

The Deputy Chairs are Dr Geraldine BoyleDr Chris Kubiak and Dr Dan Taylor.

New members and enquiries about doctoral supervision are always welcome! Please contact Jitka Vseteckova in the first instance.
