Dr Emma Heywood

I am a Senior Lecturer in Journalism, Radio and Communication at the University of Sheffield in the UK and a leading expert on the impact of radio, and associated digital platforms, in conflict and crisis-affected areas. I have a particularly focus on women's empowerment. 

I have been awarded multiple research grants for radio and empowerment projects in francophone West Africa and also in the West Bank, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 

You can read more about my active research agenda here. I will maintain a blog on this website, where I will tell you more about my activities.
