Biography: Daniel has a BA from the University of Melbourne and a MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. His MSc research explored the coping approaches utilised by middle aged men following a cancer diagnosis and through subsequent treatment. He went on to work for the Centre for Community Child Health in Melbourne evaluating State and Federal government funded service delivery in the early childhood sector and project managing to development an online early years parenting resource.
Since 2007 Daniel has been based in Uganda where he has worked predominantly in malaria prevention programmes. With Dr. Zelee Hill and partners The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the NGO Malaria Consortium, Daniel currently works on the inSCALE project in Uganda and Mozambique. As well as conducting formative research for the project, Daniel will play a key role in the process evaluation. Daniel is also undertaking research within the inSCALE project towards a PhD. This research focuses on the role of identity in the motivation of voluntary community health workers as they deliver health services (specifically integrated community case management of childhood illnesses) to their communities.
