Biography

Dr Eppie Leishman

BA (Hons), MRes, PhD (Social Policy, The University of York)

I am a Social Care researcher at the University of York. I have worked on a range of social care research projects including the intersections of support and housing for people with learning disabilities, values based home-care recruitment and evaluations of specialist training for care and support workers. I joined the Administrative Fairness Lab in the Law School in 2024 to work on a project considering the ‘fairness’ of Adult Social Care Needs Assessments.

I am a qualitative researcher with a particular interest in coproduction and public involvement in research. Prior to joining the Law School, I held roles as an associate lecturer, research associate and latterly as an impact fellow in the School for Business and Society. I have a keen interest in widening participation and have previously run outreach courses with the Centre for Lifelong Learning.
