Research

Sara Ashencaen Crabtree and myself secured a successful fusion funded grant from BU to undertake ethnographic research in Malaysia with the indigenous people's of the Tasik Chini are of Pahang. As part of this work, a visiting professorship and membership of the Pusat Penyelidikan Tasik Cini (Tasik Chini Research Centre) was granted at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia who part funded work in early 2014 with the Orang Asli of the Tasik Chini area (15,000RM). Further research is planned.

I am part of a network of academics and UK universities having an interest in the implications of the Care Act 2014 for understandings and daily practices in the fraught arena of adult abuse, protection and safeguarding. An application for an ESRC seminar series has been submitted with colleagues from Keele University, the University of East Anglia, the University of Chester and the University of Bedfordshire.

I am currently engaged in an ethnography of church visiting with colleague Prof Sara Ashencaen Crabtree and visiting scholar Rev Dr Ian Terry, with a view to examining further the meanings constructed by religious and non-religious visitors to buildings that are considered, by some, as sacred.

I am also undertaking a participatory action research study with colleagues (Dr Hyun-Joo Lim, Chris Willetts, Sara Ashencaen Crabtree and Yadigar Alus) and students as co-researchers. We are exploring student stress and effective ways of dealign with such.

Dr Masi Fathi, Richard Williams (of the social work team) and myself are undertaking research with looking six forms to examine student and family perceptions of and aspirations for higher education as part of the Centre for Excellence in Learning's focus on widening access...
