Thank you so much to everyone who came to our Researchers in #Arts and #Health Networking Event yesterday. It was such a joy to have people working across a wide range of disciplines, artforms, and sectors all in one room together. Very inspiring!

Led with Arts Culture Health & Wellbeing Scotland

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking alongside @michelle-phillips.bsky.social, @rosielperkins.bsky.social & Ming Hsu at The Royal Institution @rigb.org for the ABRSM symposium incl. sharing research from @paths-research.bsky.social & @ucl-sbb.bsky.social.

Thank you to all involved!

Few photos from the amazing Arts Festivals Summit @european-festivals.bsky.social where I had the opportunity to meet festival organisers from around the world! Thanks to Rarița Zbranca & Ana Benavides Otero for inviting me to present research from @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social & @ucl-sbb.bsky.social

Thanks to @britsoci.bsky.social for an inspiring conference at @uniofmanchester.bsky.social! Great to present a poster with Prof Norma Daykin, sharing insights from our upcoming book chapter, as well as network and learn from sociologists around the globe #britsoc26

Thank you so much to everyone who came to our Arts Play Health Community chat about arts-based methods! We covered a lot of ground from the arts as a 'counter narrative' to the potential of the arts to foster inclusive spaces. Here's a word cloud summarising key themes.

Thank you so much to all participants, faculty, staff and artists for making the Arts in Health Research Primer such an incredible experience. It was such a joy to teach on this course developed by UF & UCL and to visit Gainesville! Hope to see some of you again at our upcoming Research Intensive 😍
