Current Research Interests

Janice’s current interests lie in investigating racial and gender diversity in HEIs; exploring the application of HRM and educational interventions on economic and social development in minority ethnic groups in the UK and in developing countries. 

Previously she has looked at the impact of the brain drain on developing countries and what they have lost in terms of economic growth and development. Janice is currently co-writing a chapter on identity and diversity for a forthcoming textbook. Her PhD research is focused on performance management in UK HEIs.
