Playful practice and practices of play

My research interests focus on play and playfulness as practicable parts of creative life - things we do all the time, but don't necessarily know we're doing. My research offers further and deeper understandings into the effects of encouraging and engaging with our playful selves when play is part of our profession. 

Current research

I'm currently working on the Wellcome Trust-funded project Medicine Without Doctors, developing a methodology for Playful Research.
