Dr Ian Robson

Associate Professor

Department: Social Work, Education and Community Wellbeing

I am an educator and qualitative researcher focusing on co-production to support enquiry and organisational change in UK health, education and social care. I have a particular interest in supporting inter-disciplinary dialogue in system and service change, often using visual methods.

I help individuals and groups see challenges in fresh ways, evaluate interventions and services, and to better include and work with service users. I am passionate about supporting colleages in Higher Education to develop their teaching practice.
