2019-2025: Various Funders (total £83,000): Uncertain Futures: Exploring Inequalities for Women over 50 in relation to Paid and Unpaid Work. 

This is an interdisciplinary co-produced art-research project working with community leaders and activists, Manchester Art Gallery and colleagues at the University of Manchester.

2024-2025 MMU RKE Accelerator Funding £7,000: A Moment’s-based approach to Dementia Care using creative methodologies (with colleagues at University of Manchester and University of Bristol).

I led the ESRC Transformative Methodologies Project: Multi-Sensory Appearance Biographies. (£8,000)

Previous work has included working as a researcher on the following projects:

• ESRC/NIHR Neighbourhoods and Dementia study within work package 4: Neighbourhoods: Our People, Our Places study 
• ESRC Hairdressing, image and bodywork in care services to older people
• NIHR SDO The transition from cognitive impairment to dementia: older people’s experiences

My PhD, from the University of Manchester (2019) focused on the lived experiences of men with dementia in care environments and focused on the embodied and sensory experiences of everyday life. It explored these experiences in relation to place and gender, using an atmospheric lens.

I teach undergraduate and post graduate degrees.

I teach across the department of Social Work and Social Care:

BA Integrated Health and Social Care (IHSC)

BA Social Work (SW) and BA Social Work Apprentices

MA Social Work (SW)

I lead on a number of units:

BA IHSC:

Critical Perspectives on Adults

Research Methodologies for Applied Health and Social Science

BASW:

I supervise MA SW Research Dissertations.
