My mission is to nurture world-class social impact leaders at the University of Southampton, and through the Social Impact Lab, to catalyse social innovation in Southampton and Mumbai
I am currently Faculty Director of Social Entrepreneurship and Founding Director of the Social Impact Lab
I am passionate about innovation in higher education, and I have pioneered the use of challenge-based education.
As Founding Director of the multi award-winning Social Impact Lab I lead the University’s international work on social entrepreneurship. This includes leading a team which delivers a range of activities for our students, including the Social Enterprise module, Spark India, the Social Impact Leaders Speaker Series, our Placements scheme, our in-house Ventures and mentoring start-up social entrepreneurs.
As a result of my work in social entrepreneurship education, I have been made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and was awarded the Mahatma Gandhi Pravasi Samann in 2015 for outstanding contributions to education.
