let me help you
I'm particularly interested in looking into why policies change - or don't - particularly when it comes to adopting well-being, post-growth or sustainable development agendas. ↪ I can help you identify the drivers and inhibitors of policy change in contexts in which attempts have been made at incorporating well-being, post-growth and sustainable development concepts and metrics into the policymaking process, especially where such attempts have not been successful, or where things seem to have moved forward but, in reality, it is business as usual. After delineating a picture of the forces at play, I can help you understand what needs to be done in order to help increase impact and bring about change.
I'd also be happy to help you study the use and impact of well-being, post-growth and sustainable development metrics, or more generally the current status of "beyond GDP" initiatives in your country. ↪ Using mixed research methods, I can help you gather evidence on the use of such metrics, especially in parliamentary debates, the media (radio, TV and newspapers), and policymaking more generally. I can also help you get a better idea of what has already been done in a specific context, or the extent to which a specific metric or group of metrics has had any impact on policymaking in that locale.
If you are thinking about developing a well-being, post-growth, or sustainable development framework, I can help you make sure it gets the attention it deserves. ↪ Whether you are trying to understand what best form your framework should take (a dashboard or a composite index?) or how to make sure it is embedded into the policymaking process, or whether you are simply looking for someone to help organise a consultation on what such framework should include, you've found the right person!
I'm keen on taking on research on policy change in other contexts, too. ↪ Please get in touch with more details about the project that you have in mind.
Finally, I'd also be interested in studying the media coverage of a variety of policy issues, or the way specific issues have been discussed in parliamentary debates. ↪ Please get in touch with more details about the project that you have in mind.
