Amy Skinner

My role includes facilitating co-produced or collaborative research projects with groups or individuals who are often excluded from research agendas. I'm particularly interested in child and adolescent mental health, and, like everyone in the Institute for Social Justice, I'm keen to work on projects where research creates change. My academic background is in theatre and performance, where I have published research in scenography, theatre history, and cross-cultural performance. I have also worked as a children's and youth practitioner and a community artist. I now use my theatre and arts background to explore creative and trauma-aware research methods.
