Social Development Specialist / Researcher
Short description:
I am a Senior Research Officer in the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the University of Oxford (UK), and Research Coordinator at the Herman Deleeck Centre for Social Policy (University of Antwerp, Belgium), where I direct research on poverty and social protection. I am a sociologist by training, with a doctorate from the University of Antwerp (2012). My main research interests include poverty, inequality and social policy, and, more recently, the distributive effects of environmental policies. Current research focuses on strategies to reduce inequality in rich countries, the measurement of poverty, social policy, and the identification of eco-social policies that jointly reduce inequality and have beneficial environmental effects. I have a strong methodological background in the area of constructiong social indicators, social policy evaluation, and survey methodology. I am an expert member of the network for the analysis of the EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and the European Social Survey’s Sampling and Weighting Expert Panel. My most recent book (published by Oxford University Press) is ‘Decent incomes for all. Improving policies in Europe’, co-edited with Bea Cantillon and John Hills.

Dr Foley, Editor in Chief of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is a Reader and Advisor of Studies with the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in Queen’s University Belfast. She has a h-index of 20 (Scopus), 18 (Web of Science) and 23 (Google Scholar). She is a member of the Editorial Board of Elsevier’s Renewable Energy and the Editorial Panel of the Institution of Civil Engineers Proceedings in Transport. She is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of Engineers Ireland and a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Authority and a member of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) and Power Energy Society (PES). She has a BE(Hons) (1996) (Civil & Environmental Engineering) and a PhD (2011) (Energy Engineering) from University College Cork and an MSc (1999) (Transportation Engineering) from Trinity College Dublin. Dr Foley returned to full-time academia in 2009 after 12 years in industry, since then she has accessed more than €3 million in research. Her work is truly interdisciplinary and driven by societal needs and challenges. Her research focuses on wind forecasting, wind power integration, power and gas systems and transport electrification.

I am an environmental anthropologist and with a specific interest in understanding how society and culture cope with and adapt to climate change. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science with Development Studies at the University of Sussex (Brighton, United Kingdom), and subsequently obtained my MSc in Development and Rural Innovation at Wageningen University and Research Centre (Wageningen, The Netherlands).
In 2014, I joined the CGIAR Research Program on Integrated Systems for the Humid Tropics (Humidtropics) as a junior researcher at Wageningen University and Research Centre, working on understanding scaling processes of agroecology in Nicaragua. In 2015, I moved within the Humidtropics programme to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), and was based in Burundi, and subsequently Uganda. Here I was part of research that was aimed at understanding the psychobehavioural and institutional barriers and catalysts in scaling processes (ex-post) of Banana Xanthomonos Wilt (BXW, an aggressive disease in bananas) control methods across Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
I then moved to work that was based at IITA in Uganda within the CGIAR Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security, where I worked within the Cocoa and Coffee research team, focussing mainly on the coffee value chain. The main focus of my work here was on the private sector engagement, where understanding coffee companies perceptions on climate change and how novel ideas from IITA and other knowledge partners could be integrated into their farmer outreach programmes. I also did a short project on the use of Photo Voice as a means of capturing coffee farmers’ perception of the impacts of climate change on their community.
My most recent position was as a Junior Researcher on Citizen Science at IHE Delft, and my most recent work is within the Ground Truth 2.0 project, which has set up and is validating six citizen observatories in real conditions, in four European and two African demonstration cases, and Women and Water for Change in Communities, which aims to promote women and youth as leaders, entrepreneurs and sustainability change agents in rural communities.
I am currently working as a Freelancer.

Anna's research interests focus on the spatialities of social movements and activism, indigenous politics and environmental justice. A key aspect of her work is on understanding the vital role of civil society actors in shaping development agendas in the Global South. Anna’s main geographical focus is on Latin America, specifically Bolivia, where she has conducted research analysing the interplay between the State, indigenous movements and urban environmentalists in contemporary resource conflicts.
