Here I direct and undertake research primarily into the lived experiences of learners, particularly those deemed socially disadvantaged.
My main research interest remains in exploring links between mental illness, learning, creativity and auto/biographic expression. I use a psychosocial approach to analysis, to question and explore how we take up identities and subject positions.My methodology of choice is biographic narrative, particularly with participants who are ‘reluctant storytellers’.
