Research Supervisor Connect
My research merges my key interests in drama, education, creativity and social justice. It seeks to develop theoretical and practical understandings of the ways in which drama of, for, and about social change operates in a variety of institutional and educational settings. Using innovative methodologies drawn from the fields of critical policy studies, ethnomethodology, sociology, and education, my work aims to provide new perspectives for researchers and practitioners in applied theatre, drama education, and creativity education.
