She is a core member of the SPHERE research centre in the UK, and co-lead of the Body, Movement and Culture (BMC) research group at the University of Alberta, Canada. Her research engages more-than-human theoretical frameworks and the philosophy of posthumanism to expand understandings of moving bodies. She is interested in experimental methodological practices that challenge humanist assumptions and is working with a range of international scholars who are similarly engaging with innovative research processes. Themes of her current projects include digital health, wellbeing, climate change, ageing and relational ethics.
