Catalyst Contact Information
All of our Discipline+ Catalyst training is driven by eleven catalysts focused on specific subject areas with members drawn from SGSAH members relevant to their PhD programme delivery.
Catalysts plan and deliver the annual training programme, offering methodological and thematic training at the leading edges of arts and humanities, driving cross-and interdisciplinary collaborations with sciences and social sciences.
All catalysts welcome contact with fresh ideas for training and scope for collaboration. If you have an idea you feel would be best suited to the Discipline+ Catalysts please contact your relevant member via the drop downs below.
