Personal profile
Research interests
I am a PhD candidate in the School for Policy Studies researching intergenerational programmes. My research is interested in exploring different ways to understand intergenerational relationships between children and older adults, including those living with dementia. I adopt a (post)qualitative approach to explore the processes involved when different generations are brought together through intergenerational practice in social care or educational settings. I am particularly interested in considering intergenerational interaction from a multi-generational and posthuman perspective.
My current research builds upon a research project undertaken as part of my Masters (MSc) degree in Policy Research at the University of Bristol. This multi-method, qualitative research project explored the experiences and potential benefits of preschool children's involvement in a non-familial intergenerational programme with people living with dementia.
I am also a Graduate Teacher (Level 2) and Research Associate within the School for Policy Studies.
