I completed my PhD in 2022 at the University of Glasgow after an MRes in Human Geographies from the University of Glasgow and a BA (hons) in Geography from Keele University. My PhD research was funded by the ESRC (SGSSS) and explored the geographies of training and care between physically disabled and/or chronically ill people and their assistance dogs. After my PhD I was awarded an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship (~£110,000) to continue my research and develop work around an ethnomethodological engagement with assistance dog training. This work brought out the training philosophy of Vicki Hearne and engaged this through a spatial analysis of assistance dog training. Subsequently I had stints teaching at York St John and the University of Glasgow before returning to York St John as Lecturer in Geography in January 2025.
