I am a poet and an academic, which means that I not only live in an ivory tower, but can describe it, using vivid imagery and interesting metaphors...

• I am pleased to have a chapter on collaborative poetics in a new text on performative social science edited by Kip Jones.  

• I am excited to have a chapter in the fantastic new book 'Doing Rebellious Research in and Beyond the Academy.' You can read more about this transformative text here and here.

• I recently co-facilitated a conference entitled 'Everyday Creativity: Towards an International Research Network' at the University of Brighton. An archive of recordings, slides and other materials from the conference is available online here. If you would like to join the mailing list for the Everyday Creativity Network which this conference launched, please email me.
