Kahryn Hughes
I am a Senior Research Fellow, and the Co-Director of the Families Lifecourse and Generations Research Centre (FLaG). I previously worked in the Health Sciences and Public Health Research Centre. My research ranged from governance and quality in Complementary and Alternative Medicines, local hospitals, and community eye services, to ESRC-funded research that developed innovative methodologies to reach and recruit socially excluded individuals and groups.
