Advisory board

The Advisory board checks the progress of the project.

I meet with them (in person or by Skype) at the beginning of the project and then every 2 months thereafter. They advise on research design, management, analysis, drafted work, and they check Milestones.

Currently the board is made up of Peter Wade (Sociology), John Marsden (MLFHS), Marc Scully (Leicester, History), Tanya Evans (Macquarie, History).

The Advisory Board also advise on any ethical concerns that have been not been addressed by The University of Manchester ethics policy.
