I am a Lecturer in the School of Education at University of Sheffield.
My academic research explores neurodiversity in early childhood education. Some of my interests include place, affect, and meaning-making, sound and music, and queer and trans studies.
​
My current and past research projects include:
-
Neuroqueer(ing) Noise: my PhD research-creation study.
-
Oblique Curiosities: a music research-creation duo.
-
Research Mobilities in Primary Literacy Education: an ESRC-funded project exploring how teachers access literacy research.
-
Supporting young children’s language through place and movement in museums: a collaboration with Humber Museums exploring young children's language in the afterlives of COVID-19.
