This is a call for contributions to an open educational resource aimed at helping researchers, students, practitioners and educators learn about using creative and embodied methods in real-world research settings.

In April 2024, I was asked to deliver a keynote for an international webinar organised by CripLab. CripLab is a research laboratory on crip posthumanities in Santiago, Chile, whose members seek to map the modes of discursive and material production of the norm of dis/ability in Chilean universities that develop […]

This is a recording of my talk "Research ethics in a changing social sciences landscape" from the UCL Research Ethics Conference "Frontiers in Best Practice in Research Ethics" in September 2022.

This is a link to a webinar organised to offer support for students taking on research projects. My contribution was based on my book Making the Most of Your Research Journal.

This article presents the Systematic Visuo-Textual Analysis, a framework combining visual and textual data in a systematic, analytical approach.

This is an extract from my contribution to the LSE Impact blog discussing how to keep an effective research journal, thereby busting some of the myths surrounding research journaling.

This is an example of a prize-winning research impact poster.

This is an extract from a guest post on the Supervising PhDs Community Blog, which I co-authored with Dr Jo Collins from University of Kent. In the post, we explore what research supervisors can do to help develop a sense of belonging amongst their doctoral students.

In this guest post Dr Helen Ross reflects on the exam production line of our current school system.

If students are to take responsibility for their learning, then why are they not also in charge of their assessments? This question forms the basis for this paper that is co-written between two students and one member of staff.

This is to stimulate a discussion around boundaries of research, ethics and ownership of "messy data" resulting from creative methods.

In this post I am asking "What's your message?". This is about teachers' behaviours and attitudes and how students perceive these.

The KSSEE (Korean Society for the Study of Elementary Education) had invited me to Seoul, South Korea, to give a talk about ICT in the Primary Curriculum in the UK.

Plagiarism is a socio-cultural issue. This is about academic integrity and the reputation of an institution and the degree that is awarded.
