Biography

My background is in speech & language therapy, where my work has focused on adults with acquired communication disorders. My research is interdisciplinary and uniquely situated at the intersection of disability inclusion, speech and language therapy, and linguistic-pragamtics. The thread of 'inclusive societies' runs through my research: from a micro-focus on participation in conversations involving people with communication disability and their communication partners; to international research on novel interventions to increase inclusion of people with aphasia after stroke; extending to a macro-focus on disability inclusion in humanitarian and development settings. I am currently collaborating with the UN World Food Programme on a project addressing disability inclusion in food security programming and I am an invited collaborator on a project addressing disability inclusion in gender-based violence interventions in Iraq.

Description Of Research Interests

My work is interdisciplinary and uniquely situated at the intersection of linguistic pragmatics (specifically Relevance Theory), speech and language therapy, and disability inclusion. The thread of 'inclusive societies' runs through my research: from a micro-focus on participation in conversations involving people with communication disability and their communication partners; to international research on novel interventions to increase inclusion of people with aphasia after stroke; extending to a macro-focus on disability inclusion in humanitarian settings.
