Dr Jarek Kriukow

Qualitative Research Consultant & Data Analyst

CUrrent ROLE

  • I have worked with over 200 institutions and individuals, helping them plan and implement their research studies. I am involved in these studies as either a research consultant or data analyst. 
  • Extensive experience across a variety of sectors, including healthcare, education, social services, and criminal justice. My work has involved diverse populations such as children, prisoners reintegrating into society, child molesters, migrants, and individuals seeking cultural assimilation. I have also contributed to studies on AI, data labeling, mortgage practices, women’s rights, and neurodiverse communities. I am deeply committed to promoting inclusion and advancing social justice through my research, ensuring that marginalized voices are heard and their needs addressed.
  • Example studies I have contributed to recently are Humans@Centre project by SaĂŻd Business School from Oxford University, HAWCA‘s (Humanitarian Assistance for the Women and Children of Afghanistan) study of legal obstacles preventing Afghan women from achieving justice
  • University collaborations. I currently run data analysis workshops in Dundee University, University of York, and Cardiff Metropolitan University, and I am open to more collaborations2
