Dr Charlotte Russell, BA, PhD
Charlotte received her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Durham in 2007, having graduated with a BA in Human Sciences in 2001. Her doctoral thesis focused on a craniometric analysis of British and Danish archaeological populations, while her undergraduate dissertation addressed issues relating to the use and knowledge of traditional (folk) and complementary medicines in a North Yorkshire village.
Having spent 3 months working as a research assistant in the Sleep Lab in the summer of 2001, Charlotte returned in 2007 as NECOT (North-East Cot Trial) project manager.
In 2011 Charlotte and Professor Helen Ball obtained ESRC follow-on funding to set up the ISISonline (Infant Sleep Information Source - online) website. This website will provide a means by which up-to-date, evidence-based information about infant sleep can be disseminated to parents and health-care professionals.
