International Health Humanities Network Membership

I come from a social work practitioner, lecturer and art history background. I have a continued interest in using the humanities as a pedagogical and reflective means of encouraging critical thinking and analysis. I have devised a number of training programmes using visual images of 'madness and the maternal body to encourage social work and medical students to look beyond the obvious.

 Currently studying for a PhD entitled: Corporeal signifiers of 'madness' in western artistic traditions: 1700-1900 century at Leicester University. Applying my interest in art history, I work at Tate Britain and Tate Modern conducting tours and discussions on British historical and contemporary art.
