Projects
I am currently working on a collaboration between the University of Nottingham and Boots with research on GLP-1 weight loss medicines and memory boxes for dementia and weight loss.
In 2026, I completed a project in collaboration with the UKHSA, London Councils and Associate Directors of Public Health London on the UKRI-funded project, Enhancing the value and wider benefit of research into Coronavirus Discourses: A PanLondon Immunisation Campaign.
I also joined colleagues in the Schools of Geography and Veterinary Medicine and Science on the project 'Co-developing Effective Avian Influenza Biosecurity Communications: Establishing a Communications Advisory Panel'.
Previous projects undertaken at the University of Nottingham:
Untold Stories: Food inequality and resilience in Nottingham funded by the University of Nottingham's City as Lab.
'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).
Workplace Wellbeing and the Internet (W-WATI) as part of the Horizon Welfare Campaign.
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.
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
