Peter's CV

Key skills
I have had an extensive and wide-ranging research career and have worked on a broad range of projects relating to the criminal justice system, health, ageing and pensions. I have conducted interviews and focus groups with a range of participants in various settings including criminal justice institutions and clinical settings, on projects funded by the Nuffield Foundation and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation among others. I have also designed and analysed large-scale surveys. As a researcher at three universities I have taught qualitative and quantitative research methods and writing skills to under-graduates and post-graduates. I have also coached Master’s and PhD students including students whose first language is not English.
