About

A former Marie Curie Fellow (2007-09) , British Chevening Scholar (1996-97) and US J1 Scholar at the University of Kansas (2000-2005) administered by the U.S. Department of State for the express purpose of promoting international educational exchange of expertise and stimulating collaborative teaching and research efforts. While at the University of Kansas I was awarded Grace M. Phinney Scholarship, Phi Beta Delta International Student Award for Excellence in International Education, David M. Dahlke Memorial Scholarship, School of Education, and International Student Scholarship. I have furthered my academic work in addressing equity and inclusion in access to healthcare by leading development of two frameworks EquiFrame and Every Policy is Connected (EPIC). EquiFrame allows for benchmarking of health and social care policies to ascertain the extent to which it incorporates core concepts of human rights that enable equitable access to public goods and services. This framework has been used to benchmark a range of health and social care policies and has guided development/analysis of policies in a range of low and middle income countries through a range of partnership projects with governments and a range of United Nations Agencies. EPIC reviews policy documents with respect to its coherence with a set of agreed principles and intended beneficiaries or target groups. EPIC produces a diverse set of outputs that include indicators needed for the current policies, data gaps for monitoring agreed policies, new agreements on policy priorities, and inputs to future work for filling the current policy void. This framework has been adopted by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission of the Asia and Pacific and used to support the work on Sustainable Development Goals that focus on equity and diversity. The focus of my research and teaching has always been on equitable access to public goods and services pertinent to specific population groups early intervention (disability services- US), intellectual disability services (Ireland), care of the frail and elderly (Ireland), access to maternal and child health (global), disability and rehabilitation (global), and access to assistive technology and devices (global). I have carried out a range of commissioned research including knowledge management projects with a focus on equity and human rights for a range of United Nations agencies (World Health Organization, United Nations, United Nations Development Program, UNICEF, UNESCO, and UNESCAP).
