The Global Guide to Research Impact
Dr Lata Narayanaswamy is a Lecturer in International Development in Politics and International Studies and co-Deputy Director of the Centre for Global Development (CGD) at the University of Leeds. Her research interrogates how knowledge is both understood and operationalised in development theory and practice. Her work is geared to designing approaches to interrogate the contextual factors and associated barriers that mitigate the capacity of marginalised groups in particular to access and act on information. She has published her work in highly regard academic journals including 'Development and Change' and 'Third World Quarterly'. Lata recently co-edited 'Negotiating Knowledge: Evidence and Experience in Development NGOs', which was published in June 2016 by Practical Action Publishing and has been one of its bestsellers in the last year.
Research To Action (R2A) is a learning platform for anyone interested in maximising the impact of research and capturing evidence of impact.
The site publishes practical resources on a range of topics including research uptake, communications, policy influence and monitoring and evaluation. It captures the experiences of practitioners and researchers working on these topics and facilitates conversations between this global community through a range of social media platforms.
R2A is produced by a small editorial team, led by CommsConsult. We welcome suggestions for and contributions to the site.
