About the UWS-Oxfam Partnership
The UWS-Oxfam Partnership is an innovative model of research and knowledge exchange between the University of the West of Scotland and Oxfam Scotland. The Partnership was launched in 2011 after years of successful collaboration between the University and Oxfam Scotland. In particular, the development of Oxfam’s UK Poverty Programme in Scotland and its Our Economy report with its input from UWS researchers were significant milestones for the establishment of the Partnership.
Since its launch, the Partnership has brought together the academic expertise from UWS, the social justice and anti-poverty advocacy strengths of Oxfam Scotland, and a wide range of civil society organisations. Its activities, in particular its research, have critically examined the impacts of public policies on equalities, sustainability and poverty. At the same time, all Partnership activities have sought to provide policy-focussed ideas to inform the policy debate to work towards a more sustainable and equitable Scotland.
