Emma Miller has been a senior research associate at Strathclyde since 2012, and was previously attached on an honorary basis from 2009.

Based on knowledge exchange and action research, this has involved partnership between a wide range of national bodies and local organisations to re-orient culture, systems and practice accordingly. Emma has also worked for the past few years on a project titled Talking Hope which involves work with diverse agencies supporting young people identified as being at high risk.
Over severak years this work has drawn increasing interest from wider UK and international universities and agencies. Emma is a member of the Eurocarers Research Working Group. She has also worked and published with colleagues at New York University and is currently collaborating with colleagues in Australia where there is a shift in policy towards outcomes.
