The University of Limerick is publcally- funded , opened to all , regardless of background.
As well as academic achievement the University aims to produce students are equipped for life in a culturally diverse world.
Across the university a range of reserach projects including tgose relevant to social justice & human rights.
In addition, outreach projects take place with the wider community & globally..
I have only 30 years track record in conducting research concerning social justice issues with particular reference to ethnicity and gender. My c.v. includes 8 books & over 100 publications , articles & conference presentations related to social justice issues. I have taught in 7 universities within 4 countries; & undertaken reserarch projects focusing on human rights issues & education. A particualr aspect of my work has been the expansion of schools based on an Islamic basis & responding to cultural diversity within public schools..
Given my professional & acdemic background I think I am well-placed to contribute to the Network , particularly in terms of my knowledge base of social justice issues.
I have been a taechers, head of dept, vice-principle & professor with a strong background in Education. As well as working at the University of Limerick, I have been honoured with the Aval Martell Chair at Marlander University, Sweden.
