MEET THE OPERATIONAL TEAM

Project Manager/Principle Investigator: India Holme, Regional Research and Impact Development Manager

India is currently working at the nexus of research development, impact and engagement, across all three Faculties, with a focus on Coventry and Warwickshire. Prior experience of working at a Local Authority with a BA in Politics and Philosophy and MA in International Law and Politics, both from the University of Sheffield. India is an experienced inter/transdisciplinary project/programme manager (15 years+) with expertise in relationship building, research engagement/exchange/translation, working with arts and cultural organisations, freelancers, third/voluntary/public sectors. She loves ideas, people and research and connecting them in sometimes unexpected ways, a big fan of participatory research and the phrase 'nothing about us without us' and a personal interest in neurodiversity research and related projects - check out these webpages and get in touch!

Place-based Research & Culture | Research at WarwickLink opens in a new window.

India is neurodiverse - AudHD - Autism Spectrum Condition and ADHD. Chatty, excitable and enthusiastic, India is a visual processor prone to sensory overload who likes details, plans, organising, connecting things/people/ideas, talking (a lot), listening (carefully) and research (special interest). India can sometimes 'overthink' and 'overshare'. But perhaps we flip this and consider that perhaps people can 'underthink' and 'undershare'...just as much as they can overthink and overshare. A spectrum of thinking and sharing.

*Working hours: Mon-Fri - India sometimes works at 'unusual' times, very early in the morning and very late at night.an does not ever expect a response outside of your usual working hours.

India can sometimes be construed as somewhat 'blunt' and/or 'direct', especially via email and can also be quite detailed oriented, take things a little literally and is very action oriented. Please do not take any offense by this- as that is the polar opposite of India's intention. Also please feel free to be direct in return - the more clear you are on what you are asking of India, what you want/need, by when and the level of detail required (approximately) - the easier communication becomes for all involved.

Say what you mean and do what you say.
