Profile

With a background in interdisciplinary research, research administration and academic libraries, I’m currently a Research Associate on the  project. A collaboration between the Universities of Cambridge, Coventry, Sheffield and Southampton, the project seeks to surface and document open practices in the Humanities and Social Sciences and to create guidelines and frameworks to encourage adoption of open practices in these disciplines. As well as contributing to the project as a whole, my role has a particular focus on investigating open practices in the Social Sciences, especially around the sharing of data generated through qualitative and mixed methods research.

Research interests

Alongside my work on the MORPHSS project, my research focuses on the critical-theoretical framing of open research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. I have particular interest in issues of epistemic justice and diversity in conceptualisations of open research, including around data sharing; questions of transparency, positionality and affect; and notions of discipline and disciplinary boundaries as they pertain to research openness. I have further interests in questions of paratext, spatiality and discursive practices which manifest previously unrecognised forms of openness.
