I am a professor of social and health inequality at the University of Cumbria, motivated by social justice. I believe everyone should experience wellbeing – by that I mean feeling good and functioning well – a standard everyone in the world is entitled to. My research focuses on finding out to what extent people all experience wellbeing and what practices support wellbeing both inside my university and its wider community. My university role is currently changing from supporting effective teaching and learning to leading the Centre for Research in Health and Society which is an exciting new challenge.
