International Health Humanities Network Membership

I am a senior researcher for the McPin Foundation and have worked on a number of evaluations that explore the impact of community interventions (e.g. peer support) on mental health. I am also currently involved in developing evaluations that look at the impact of performance and arts therapies on mental health.  During my PhD I explored how narratives and stories may have an impact on attitudes. I also have a personal visual arts practice, have made a number short digital story style films and am exploring more ways of bringing my creative practice and research work together in a more coherent fashion. I am particularly interested in developing projects using verbatim theatre to explore the experience mental health.
