My research focuses on collaborative practice to explore everyday experiences from a variety of different perspectives.  I continue to develop collaborative practices using a variety of different mediums from visual arts to sound and interactive work.  I am particularly interested in how different technologies have the potential to do neurodiverse research and communicate research to the wider public.  I am interested in interrogating ideas around imagination, the sensorium (as it is affected by experience), embodied knowledge, public research and the ways research is framed. My most recent publication explores how 'multimodal technologies open possibilities to go beyond the dominant written model of anthropology through layering and expanding theoretical and storytelling processes into different modes' and can be found here.  

 

I have recently explored the ways in which we think about thinking and how this effects research around dyslexia as well as exploring dyslexic thinking with a group of dyslexic adults through creating digital images. This work is currently being converted in a Graphic Novel.

My current research is looking more in-depth at movement.  The importance of movement first surfaced during my PhD and has resulted in the last two years of researching movement through the development of Tylt.  If you would like to know more about Tylt please go here
