Queer Rural Research, Art & Engagement
I’m a rural queer and live in Bristol. I research how LGBTQ+ cultures in the South West ‘queer the countryside’.
PhD Researcher in Humanities (Geography & Sexuality Studies), Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender, University of Brighton. TECHNE AHRC Doctoral Award.

I’ve written for CPRE - the countryside charity, curated Queer Constellations at the Museum of English Rural Life, and convene the Queer Geographies reading group.
Creative Pathways Bursary
I am a recipient of Somerset Art Works’ Creative Pathways 2023 Bursary, which supports artists and makers in Somerset to develop their creative practice.
I’m using my award to research and develop a project on queer(ing) Somerset traditions. The bursary will help me to access new audiences, experiment with video installation and learn digital embroidery techniques.
This will culminate in a solo show in 2024.
