Jo Watts
Senior Lecturer
Summary
My role at Sheffield Hallam University combines teaching and research that is underpinned by 30 years of applied experience. This spans the private, public and thirds sectors. I am the second year Business Studies Course lead.
Prior to entering academia, I worked at senior levels that had a strong emphasis on strategic, organisational and individual development. My work has contributed to funding bids that supported participative, asset-based approaches to community development and addressed issues such as food poverty and social isolation.
In addition to teaching, I am currently in the final stages of doctoral research that explores discourses of collaboration in policy and the subsequent implications for non -profit organisations.
