I am a storyteller and researcher interested in the role of storytelling and the arts in ecological justice and other intersecting crises. My practice-based PhD in storytelling with adolescents built on my extensive experience of artist residencies in educational, mental health, heritage, ecological and community settings. My current practice-based research collaborations investigate storytelling and climate adaptation, the role of indigenous knowledge in responding to climate crisis, and disabled access to 'blue spaces'.
I am co-convenor of the Ecological Justice Research Group, based in the Institute for Social Justice, and coordinator of York St John's Living Lab, an interdisciplinary cross-university project engaging students in ecological justice issues locally.
