I continue to work in the Get Creative programme led
by Creative Barking and Dagenham, exploring the role of artist-facilitators as
cultural connectors. This initiative reflects my professional experience as a
leader in directing and evaluating school/artist partnerships and
collaborations. This work is part of a long-term engagement in researching the
role of the academic as cultural intermediary and broker of cross-sectoral
networking and collaboration.
I also am developing networks with artists and academics
with interests in working in arts-based research to address ‘toxic’
masculinity.
