Our team
The Centre for Public Policy is the doorway to policy expertise at the University of Glasgow.
Our work is driven by a core team of academic researchers and professional services staff, led by Director Professor Nicola McEwen and Associate Director Professor Kezia Dugdale. We are supported by a team of Honorary Professors and an External Advisory Board, all with broad experience and expertise across the public, private, and voluntary sectors, and academia.
