Research for the Real World: S16E01
Sinéad Harmey
Lecturer in Literacy Education
Our presenter Emily MacLeod is joined by Dr Sinéad Harmey to discuss what translational research looks like in action. Dr Harmey shares an example that took place in an early years setting focusing on language and communication.
We also get to hear about translational research’s role in examining the impact of learning disruption on addressing the challenges of returning to normal schooling post-COVID-19 and comparing that with other events such as Hurricane Katrina.
