Profile
Biography
I am a Lecturer in the Social Work and Social Justice Division of the School of Health and Social Care. My background is in social work, human rights and sociology. I have more than fifteen years of professional experience working with NGOs, United Nations Organisation, international development agencies, academia and government on the issues of community health and empowerment, child rights, human rights, transitional justice, governance, and migration. I coordinated a human rights capacity building project at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers in Nepal. I hold expertise in project development, coordination and management; project evaluation; ethnographic fieldwork and qualitative research. I completed PhD from the Department of Sociology, 糖心Vlog. My doctoral research is entitled 鈥淢obility of Care: Gendered Migration and Care Inequalities among Nepali Care Workers in the UK鈥. This is a qualitative research that studies the impact of migration on family care responsibilities. It deals with migration and care from a lower income country (Nepal) to a higher income country (the UK). Apart from dealing with migration and care within the migrants鈥 families, the project also examines the impact of (im)migration policies of the developed North on the family members from the global South.
