After years of working with educational issues related to firstly ethnic minority children and later university students, I returned to my previous engagement with traditional producers of craft in India in order to collaborate with painters on writing their stories. I have recently begun exploring auto ethnography while writing drafts for a book tentatively called Cancer then, Cancer now.

Primary fields of research

My primay interest is exploring creative writing as a path to analytical insights. I am in the final stage of completing Painting stories, a book based upon my work amongst Indian crafts producers over a period of 30 years. I have recently begun writing about experiences with cancer. In relation to teaching I am currently developing a series of writing workshops to be integrated as part of our educational programmes.
