Claire Craig held the role of Project Coordinator for the DirtPol research team since November 2013.  Her primary role was to keep an international team feeling like a family (a pretend family from fairy tales that doesn't argue and is extremely cooperative) and keep Professor Newell submerged under heaps of data, timesheets and reports.

With the disbanding of the DirtPol team, Claire will remain at the Unviersity Sussex as both staff and student; Claire is pursuing a postgraduate academic career in Anthropology whilst working for the university's IT Services team as their communications officer.
