\"\"<\/a><\/strong>My name is Juliane and I\u2019m a Research Fellow at City-REDI since October last year. Originally from the South of Germany, I made the UK my home at the start of this millennium. My connections to the Midlands has been growing ever since, though I have also spent some time in the North of England studying for my PhD in the Linguistic Department at Lancaster University.<\/p>\n

I have always had a passion for social justice, in particular, gender (and other) equality and empowerment, I developed a keen interest in Social Science approaches during my PhD. Using a data-driven and empirical approach, and thus making the leap away from the Humanities, I discovered that one of my true skills is talking to people and finding out what is important to them. I explored research participants\u2019 university and workplace experience (Birmingham City University<\/a>) and looked at the impact of government policies on education (UCAS<\/a>, Aston University<\/a>). I first explored technological and organisational innovation at the Warwick Business School<\/a> in relation to knowledge sharing and management.<\/p>\n

Now at City-REDI, I work on a Leverhulme funded project led by Dr Max Nathan<\/a> on innovative approaches to tech accelerators. It is a joint project between LSE<\/a> and Birmingham Business School<\/a> where we\u2019re looking at the impact of an acceleration programme<\/a> for the growth of new businesses in the creative industry and social enterprises. It\u2019s a multi-method project and I\u2019m responsible for the qualitative data collection and analysis.<\/p>\n

What about Linguistics, my first passion? I haven’t fully given up on it and have been teaching different Linguistics Modules at Lancaster University, Aston University, Manchester Metropolitan University and, currently part-time, in the English Language and Applied Linguistics Department at Birmingham University. In addition, I have rekindled my teenage ambition to make a difference in the world by delivering workshops and training in life and connection skills.<\/p>\n

In my free time, I enjoy travelling the English and Welsh countryside, learning new languages, eating good food and spending time with family and friends.<\/p>\n
