The Perivoli Africa Research Centre (PARC) is delighted to announce that in February Professor Leon Tikly joined us as our new part-time Academic Director. Leon will work closely with the Chair in Africa Research and Partnerships, Professor Isabella Aboderin, delivering a strategic plan and vision for an expanded remit of the centre.
Leon is UNESCO Chair in Transforming Knowledge and Research for Just and Sustainable Futures and Global Chair in Education here at the University, and also co-directs the Centre for International and Comparative Education (CIRE). He was until recently PI on the Transforming Education for Sustainable Futures (TESF) network and has been working with PARC over the last year on a project reviewing this and another GCRF-funded network to look at equitability of global North-South research partnerships.
