Paul Connolly is Professor of Education and Dean of Research for the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast. He is also Director of the Centre for Evidence and Social Innovation that supports the development and rigorous evaluation of programmes in education, social care and public health; including a significant number of ECD programmes. Paul is known internationally for his research on issues of diversity, inclusion and young children.
The funding, awarded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), will be used to study the potential for ECD (early childhood development) programs to promote sustainable development and peacebuilding and establish an international network of researchers from several low and middle income countries (LMICs) that have been affected by ethnic divisions and political violence. The network will seek to build research capacity in those countries and help to support the development and robust evaluation of ECD services.
