Professor Erin Baines Visits Belfast
In December 2017 Professor Erin Baines,
Associate Professor at the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs
(SPPGA) at the University of British Columbia, visited Belfast.
The purpose of the trip was to explore ongoing partnerships and also engage with Ulster University MSc, LLM and PhD students. Professor Baines offered two classes on focusing on her work in Uganda entitled "Children & Futurities" and a second research focused workshop entitled "De-colonial approaches to research on violence".
We also got some time to do some writing, and wider than this her and I outlined some future plans for joint co-operation and research. I look forward to continuing to work with her.
