Qualifications
Research Interests
With a background in humanities and social sciences I engage in two rich research areas. The first relates to research as a practice, this is my academic development strand where I am interested in exploring 'identity mapping' and how to develop research impact profiles.
The second area is concerned with heritage, history & folklore, which involves research about food as a cultural practice and sensory experiences. I have just completed a project on object-based learning (OBL) in higher education.
