My own research has always been driven by a desire to engage with wider publics. My work has been featured in the Guardian, Vice, BBC News, The Atlantic, The Times, Huffington Post, The Observer, The Herald, The Metro US, BBC News Magazine, The Scotsman, Wired, Glamour, The Straits Times, Guardian Higher Education and many smaller online and print outlets internationally. I’ve been interviewed by BBC Radio 4, BBC 3, Newstalk, RTL Belgium and BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. I’ve also regularly consulted with journalists, curators and activists who have sought my support as a researcher. This has included co-developing educational workshops grounded in my research findings.
