Prof Linda Clarke
I am regularly invited to present our research, which has an impact both in academia and in the wider community - local, national, and international. This was recognized in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework impact awards, when the WBS submission to the business and management unit of assessment, of which ProBE research case studies formed a major part, came second in the UK. I work closely with different industry stakeholders, including unions, employers, and practitioners, as well as education and training institutes, women in construction networks, and environmental and community groups - whether in my local community, nationally, across Europe or North America.
