She is a Fellow of the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies and has been invited to contribute to the Defence Academy's work on Iran.
Davina is developing a second area as an outcome of her four years' experience as a city councillor in Salford in seeking to systematise her practitioner knowledge around issues of participation and community engagement. Working with the International Centre for Participation Studies, Davina is contributing a case study to Jenny Pearce's ESRC project on municipal innovation in non-governmental public action in Latin America and the UK. Further building on her experience as a city councillor in Salford, Davina is also mentoring community researchers as part of another ICPS project, funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, examining participation on the white estates of Bradford.
