As part of the fabulous Phd Life Raft symposium organised by the magnificent Dr Emma Brodzinski, I was invited to an author talk about my book Making the Most of Your Research Journal. It was a great pleasure to oblige, and I thoroughly enjoyed that exciting experience.

I was invited to contribute to the ResDance Podcast. My contribution was about my Embodied Inquiry work, as part of my own research and as part of the Embodied Inquiry: Research Methods book.

This video about the benefits and challenges of participatory research builds on my original work presented at the PASAR conference in 2017.
