Research Summary
The underlying principle for my work is that research, teaching and social activism are inextricably interconnected. As a consequence, my personal practices in research, teaching and dissemination are also interwoven.
The constant in the narrative of my work is to give voice to the unheard and empower the marginalised. I aim to provide those with quieter voices with means and tools to explore the unexplored and express the in-expressible. I therefore focus on:
- Participatory, multi-sensory, embodied and immersive research, in particular through arts-based approaches, material and physical representations and metaphors
- Student experiences and learning
- Teacher education and development in the primary, secondary and tertiary sector
- Identity and identity construction in general, but more specifically in higher education including the identities of those in precarious positions and with disabilities and/or chronic conditions
- The performative and communicative role of the body
Teaching Summary
Doctoral Supervisions:
I am currently supervising doctoral projects on the lived experience of queerness amongst psychotherapists using creative methods, a Deleuzoguattarian analysis of identity development amongst social science PhD students, teacher presence and embodiment in the classroom, the experience of students with disabilities in South Korea and the impact of creative movement on learning in secondary science lessons.
