Projects
I am currently working on the Horizon-funded project Hybrid Relics: Socially Embedding the Soul in Design. The project explores the evolving nature and meaning of relics and the ways in which such objects bring together meaning and memory, and can be representative of people, time, experience and place.
I have also joined colleagues in the Schools of Geography and Veterinary Medicine and Science on the project 'Communicating avian influenza-related guidance to small scale poultry keepers in the UK', a follow-on from 'Avian influenza (AI) in the United Kingdom'. A recent publication from the previous research can be found here: UK flockdown: A survey of smallscale poultry keepers and their understanding of governmental guidance on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
Previous projects undertaken at the University of Nottingham:
Coronavirus Discourses: Linguistic Evidence for Effective Health Messaging
Avian influenza (AI) in the United Kingdom: Developing an interdisciplinary network to explore the knowledge, attitudes and practices of backyard poultry keepers
Privacy Preserving Detection of Online Misinformation
Other previous projects include:
