Current Research

My research focuses on applying knowledge from the humanities and arts disciplines such as linguistics, literature and history to the development and practice of health care. To date, this work has included various projects looking at how spoken and written language is used in a variety of care interactions and settings relevant to general and mental health, the history and culture of professions and literary representations of health care, not least in terms of mental illness.
