Dr Chavan Kissoon has been awarded a BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grant for his ‘Academic freedom for research in times of financial turbulence’ project.

Set within the context of a UK higher education (HE) sector currently experiencing significant financial challenges and with REF2029 just four years away, Dr Kissoon’s sector-wide study will explore the impact of the current financial crisis in English HE and how it is shaping institutional approaches to research both strategically and operationally, as well as in a dynamic REF2029 policy context.
