Postgraduate Research 2018-2024
I am currently a postgraduate researcher working on a collaborative project with University of Dundee and Dundee Contemporary Arts, which explores the impact of arts participation on the social wellbeing of young children. https://sites.dundee.ac.uk/artatthestart/
In 2019 I completed an MSc in Psychological Research Methods, and presented my dissertation research at the Engage International Conference in November 2019.
In 2023 I designed the Art Together Toolkit for visual arts organisations to measure the experiences of young children taking part in their activities. https://arttogether.uk/
In 2024 I have two papers published in peer-reviewed journals:
Rumble, H. F., Jindal-Snape, D., & Ross, J. (2024). Visual arts participation and young children’s social emotional wellbeing: a scoping review. Education 3-13. https://doi.org/10.1080/03004279.2024.2304790.
