Hazel has taught health, leadership, research, ethics, and sustainability modules across several MSc programmes and has also supervised MSc dissertations.
Hazel is part of our research teams for two EU and UKRI funded projects, and one Wellcome Trust project:
- The Pro-active Pandemic Crisis Ethics and Integrity Framework (PREPARED) study which aims to develop an operational ethics and integrity framework which safeguards key ethical values, supports a rapid and effective research response to crises and improves overall pandemic preparedness.
- Improving research ethics expertise and competences to ensure reliability and trust in science (irecs) aims to improve research ethics expertise and competencies to ensure reliability and trust in science.
- Leaving no-one behind in Research (LENS) is rethinking the concept of vulnerability in non-clinical health research, and developing a research method in the medical humanities, to gain valuable knowledge from vulnerable populations with reduced risks of harm.
In addition to her current research work, Hazel is a supervisor of doctoral candidates in both health and education projects. Hazel has a long-standing interest in online learning. Her own doctoral research highlighted the transformational potential of online programmes.
Hazel was course leader for the innovative online MSc Sustainability, Health and Wellbeing from 2017-2022. Hazel's experience in online learning has led to presentations at several conferences, publication of a book chapter on the topic of Transformative education for sustainability: a model of online learning, and an invitation to contribute to HEFCE's Steering group panel for the development of postgrad student survey (PTES).
