Participatory Research

I work with participatory and interdisciplinary approaches to explore how cultural engagement can improve quality of life for people living with dementia, their families, and care professionals, and how these practices can inform policy and systemic change. My main research areas include access to culture for socially excluded groups, arts-based interventions in dementia care, the impact of creative engagement on caregivers’ well-being, I also investigate cross-sector collaboration between cultural, health, and social care institutions, aiming to develop inclusive and sustainable models of practice that bridge research, policy, and everyday care.
