Hello, my name is Kate Thomas and I am the Convenor of the WiLL Network. I've worked in higher education as a project manager, researcher and teacher since 2002. Most recently I was employed as a Senior Programme Manager at the University of the West of England (Bristol UWE), developing, implementing and evaluating widening participation, transition and retention strategies and interventions. I am now based at Birkbeck University of London, researching the impact of university retention strategies on part-time, mature students as part of the Higher Education Academy Doctoral Programme. I also work in a freelance capacity as researcher and consultant. I have been involved with UALL for over a decade and have served on the UALL Executive Committe and the Communications Sub-Group for several years. I have been the Convenor of the WiLL Network since 2008.
