Experience
Honorary Visiting Associated Professor
Jun 2019 — Present · Moscow, RU
I am affiliated with the Centre for Studies of Civil Society and the Nonprofit Sector of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE), founded by Professor and HSE Vice-Rector, Lev Jakobson, and currently directed by Prof. Irina Mersianova. I lectured at the HSE in June and July 2013, and was previously Associate Director of the Volunteer Motivation Project (VMP). The VMP is a survey of 2,150 adult Russians, with a random representative sample of non-institutionalized adults plus a special sub-sample of institutionalized adults with special health problems. The interview schedule is totally focused on variables/questions that the global research literature suggests help to influence and explain individual volunteering, both formal and informal. The results of the first (2013) wave are available in various articles and book chapters. In subsequent years I have analyzed more VMS data, written relevant journal articles and book chapters, rewriting these as needed.
