Biography
Daniel Doh (PhD) is a Lecturer in Social Work at the Western Sydney University. Prior to joining Western Sydney, Daniel worked as a Senior Research Officer for the Silver Chain Group – Access Care Network Australia in Western Australia. He was a Sessional Academic at the School of Arts and Humanities - Edith Cowan University, Perth and an Assistant Research Fellow at the Centre for Social Policy Studies, University of Ghana. Daniel is a social worker/social policy analysist, and has been involved in several impact evaluation programs and research activities for the Government of Ghana, UNICEF, HelpAge Ghana, Revenue Watch Institute -UK, Institute of Environment and Development – UK, Revenue Watch Institute – UK, and several not-for profit organisations in Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Daniel has been teaching impact evaluation, research method courses, and social policy analysis over the past 10 years at graduate levels and at various professional development workshops in Ghana, Kenya, Sierra Leone and Australia. Daniel’s expertise and interest are in theory-based mixed-method impact evaluation, with matched capacity for both quantitative modelling and qualitative analysis. Daniel’s current project is examining the impact of the introduction of a reablement strategy -an emerging global practice model for community and homebased care for older people in Australia and the impact of short-term medical missions in developing countries. Daniel’s future research project will be exploring the qualitative outcomes of reablement, informal dementia care arrangement for older Aboriginals in Australia, decolonising social work practice in different cultures including Africa, examining different models of promoting social interaction in old age, social protection systems in Africa and Asia Pacific, and the impact of short-term medical mission (STMM) in developing countries.
