From Aristotle to Arendt : a phenomenological exploration of forms of knowledge and practice in the context of child protection social work in the UK (2015)
Journal Article

This paper attempts to explore the relationship between different forms of knowledge and the kinds of activity that arise from them within child protection social work practice. The argument that social work is more than either ‘science’ or ‘art’ but...

Early detection surveillance for an emerging plant pathogen : a rule of thumb to predict prevalence at first discovery (2015)
Journal Article

Emerging plant pathogens are a significant problem for conservation and food security. Surveillance is often instigated in an attempt to detect an invading epidemic before it gets out of control. Yet in practice many epidemics are not discovered unti... Read More about Early detection surveillance for an emerging plant pathogen : a rule of thumb to predict prevalence at first discovery.
