The overall aim of this project is to produce an all-island strategy to surveying staff about their experiences and perspectives on consent, sexual violence and harassment (C-SVH) in HE across the North and South of Ireland as well as facilitating knowledge exchange between academics and professionals.

As part of COSHARE, Ngozi manages the COSHARE Stakeholder Network, an all-island network with academics, teachers, public sector workers and support providers from both sides of the border. This network seeks to facilitate knowledge sharing between academics and professionals concerning the reduction and prevention of SVH in higher education. She also manages the design and distribution of the COSHARE Network newsletter. Her recently completed PhD thesis focused on the unwanted/non-consensual sexual experiences of university students in Northern Ireland, better understanding students sexual consent knowledge and understanding and the relationship between experiences and understanding.
