💥 Unbelievably proud - today we launch Pathways to Hope, a comic co-created with the lived experience community, medical students & doctors. Based on the graphic notes created at conversation cafés, refined & co-produced with research participants with lived experience to shape the final comic.

I am so proud to have contributed to this animation as part of the SysteMatic project, exploring the experiences of marginalised individuals living with multiple long-term health conditions (MLTCs) (lnkd.in/ev2nYPSm). Exhibition of the arts-based approaches informing the work @byreshub.bsky.social

Delighted to announce the publication of our new report, “Diversifying Justice: Unveiling the Domestic Abuse Experiences of South Asian Women in Scotland,” co-authored with Dr Lisa Bradley & Dr Nughmana Mirza. Read the full report here: lnkd.in/gHUxvtKZ

Guest lecture last night to @uofglasgow.bsky.social @uofgeducation.bsky.social MEd students on my work as an arts-based visual researcher and maker of Public Information Comics. Many thanks for the invitation! Great fun and so interesting to see the interdisciplinary applications of visual methods 👍

I am excited to announce the launch of visualinquiry.co.uk Discover my portfolio as a visual note-taker and graphic illustrator, bridging academia and third-sector collaboration. My work integrates social research and adult education, transforming complex ideas into accessible visuals.

A chapter based on my PhD research has been published in the ‘Research handbook on adult learning and education’ - with some incredible AE authors’ works included in the collection. Super proud 😊 @uofgshw.bsky.social @scutrea.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social

New opinion piece in @bjgp.bsky.social highlights critical insights gathered during a Deep End project workshop on the importance of meaningful community engagement and effective health systems. @nicmdickson.bsky.social @deependgp.bsky.social @alliancescot.bsky.social bjgp.org/content/75/7...

Was so inspiring hearing and visually capturing the stories from people in the recovery community today. They spoke to medical students about their pathways through addiction, health care and help seeking. Thrilled to be co-creating a Public Information Comic on this theme @uofgshw.bsky.social

We were lucky enough to work with brilliant researcher, artist, and activist @nicmdickson.bsky.social‬ from @uofglasgow.bsky.social and community groups in Glasgow to bring Robert and his challenges to life. Thank you to everyone who got involved🌟

Official launch of ‘SysteMatic’ animation ‘Juggling multiple health conditions: Roberts story’ youtu.be/uJiVUPFFXBw?si… @byreshub.bsky.social. We co-created this with people with lived experience, to show the impacts of MLTCs on marginalised communities. Amazing production @mediaco-op.bsky.social 👏

Oh these are good! My first encounter with @drhelenkara.bsky.social 'sofa videos' and they are perfect. The first introduces us to phenomenology and ends with a link to the Muppets! Entertaining and educational :) youtu.be/cVGAxMo-kiw?...

This is going to be a great conference. I'm going to be there in my role as @scutrea.bsky.social co-chair, presenting with @uofglasgow.bsky.social & @uniofnottingham.bsky.social colleagues on SCUTREA (past, present & future) & promoting international partnerships in adult education.

Last week's @ncrm.ac.uk creative research methods course with @drhelenkara.bsky.social we explored using comics and animation in research - what a great session! I shared my use of Lynda Barry's 'Draw yourself as Batman' activity as an icebreaker in community groups. Such a fun way to engage :)

Wonderful collection from PIMA. My paper celebrates the power of women creating art collectively to change our environments and transform perceptions of self. @saywomen.bsky.social we named, reframed and challenged misogynic phrases through printmaking and a zine. www.pimanetwork.com/bulletin-52-...

My first Bluesky ‘skeet’ - hello! Great to be here. Today I’m taking part in a creative methods online course led by the brilliant @drhelenkara.bsky.social. First session considering research in times of crisis. Really interesting people and participants. It’s going to be a great 6 weeks! 😁
