As part of a recent and ongoing internal change process, INTRAC has expanded its senior management team from 3 to 5 people (including the recruitment of a Research Director).
Brian Pratt (Executive Director), Brenda Lipson (Deputy Executive Director) and Peter Howlett (Finance and Resource Director) are joined by two new SMT members:
Kasturi Sen has been appointed Research Director. Kasturi is a social scientist who has worked in public health and civil society issues for the past twenty years. She has a doctorate from the University of Exeter (1986) in Islamics, Sociology and Economics. Over the past ten years she has been involved in the co-ordination of a number of multi-national studies for the European Commission (1993-2004), the most recent of which was an international meeting on Citizenship and Young People of Muslim Origin, in selected countries of the European Union.
Kasturi was a Visiting Professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi, India) Centre for Social Medicine and Community Health between January and March 2004 and from 1996 until 2004 was based at the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Public Health as a Senior Research Associate, combining some teaching with field research in South Asia and the Middle East in the main.
Among Kasturi's areas of interest are cross-national issues of research methods, encouraging multi-dimensional studies especially of vulnerable groups such as older people, and the need for applied research particularly in the health and social sectors. She has published widely both in Europe and internationally in peer reviewed journals.
