GGM358 Geographies of the Body
This is my main block of teaching and was set up as a new module in 2017-18 from the ashes of my old module Gender, Body & Performance. Sometimes it's good to shake things up. We're exploring a bunch of interesting issues building on my current work including questions around atmospheres, creativity, physiological response to environments, privacy and videogaming. Yes, it's eclectic, but it's methods-led which is what my research is all about, so that makes it okay. |
Fieldcourses
I've been involved with a number of different fieldcourses over the year (Snowdonia, Coniston, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Berlin). When in Berlin I have been known to talk about the late and (very) great David Bowie... Currently I am the leader for our Year 1 fieldcourse to Rotterdam. This involves getting somewhere upward of 200 students onto coaches at seven in the morning. I do a whole block of teaching on project design and research methods in advance of the fieldcourse so that students can design and implement their own research projects while in the field. |
Dissertation lab
All undergraduate dissertation students that I supervise become affiliate members of my Playful Methods Lab. We have weekly meetings during semester 1 to exchange ideas, refine projects and hone skills as researchers. Sometimes there's snacks... |
