Dr Robyn Parker

As UPEN’s Head of Communications and Impact, Robyn looks after all UPEN’s external communications. That means she’s the one who oversees our website, newsletter, LinkedIn presence, and she also handles UPEN’s brand and media relations. Robyn is also responsible for all the communications, case studies, and stories that will be coming from UPEN Programmes. 

If you’ve got a good news story you think UPEN should share, or if you have ideas for how we can improve our communication channels, get in touch with Robyn. 

Before joining UPEN, Robyn managed the multi-partner project, Capabilities in Academic Policy Engagement (CAPE). She holds a PhD from the University of Sheffield in medieval history, which explored how 12th century hermits in France were memorialised in writings about the lives of saints. When she’s not at work, you can find her at festivals, or staring at her plants.
