A chapter based on my PhD research has been published in the ‘Research handbook on adult learning and education’ - with some incredible AE authors’ works included in the collection. Super proud 😊 @uofgshw.bsky.social @scutrea.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social

Was so inspiring hearing and visually capturing the stories from people in the recovery community today. They spoke to medical students about their pathways through addiction, health care and help seeking. Thrilled to be co-creating a Public Information Comic on this theme @uofgshw.bsky.social

Last week's @ncrm.ac.uk creative research methods course with @drhelenkara.bsky.social we explored using comics and animation in research - what a great session! I shared my use of Lynda Barry's 'Draw yourself as Batman' activity as an icebreaker in community groups. Such a fun way to engage :)
