Her research focuses on the experiences of marginalised communities (with a specific focus on minoritized ethnic populations) and she has led a range of funded projects on housing and homelessness, migration, ageing and health and social care. Much of her work involves interrogation of the theoretical, conceptual, and applied nature of 'community' in national and international contexts. Anya is also a Non-Executive Director at Merseycare NHS FT, Chair of the Somali Adult Social Care Agency (SASCA) in Manchester; a member of the Customers and Communities Committee at Mosscare St Vincent's Housing Association; and a Trustee for Knowledge for Change (K4C) a charity which organises ethical international student placements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Deirdre Duffy\u003c\/strong\u003e (she\/her) is a Reader in Critical Social Policy, Manchester Metropolitan University.

In 2022, Deirdre was appointed as lead researcher on the Irish government's review of health care providers' perspectives and experiences of the recently-transformed abortion care system. Prior to this Deirdre was Co-Investigator and stream lead on the World Health Organisation Human Reproduction Programme's ground-breaking implementation study of abortion care in the Republic of Ireland following the removal of the constitutional recognition of the 'right to life of the unborn'.

Lorna's work centres on social ageing and dementia with marginalised groups, exploring how people's culture, ethnicity, beliefs and socio-economic situations impact upon their health and access to services.

As an academic, she has been involved in research involving interprofessional learning, communities of practice and several research in care home initiatives.
