My multimodal research outputs include:

• (2015): a feature-length documentary film about the socio-cultural impacts of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike conflict; 
• (2019-20): a series of video interviews with internationally renowned researchers for the 91Ö±²¥ Institute for International Development (SIID); 
• (2021): a series of four short documentary films depicting voluntary filmmaking at ‘Kirklees Local TV’, a non-profit community media outlet (and the partner organisation for my Collaborative PhD project). One of these four films, ‘The People’s News Outlet’, can be viewed ;
• (2021): videographic essays disseminating research co-produced with a group of digital media students from Barnsley College, as part of a research project investigating the effectiveness of railway anti-trespass media campaigns. 

Current research projects and engagements include:

• 'My Media, My Power, My World' (2022) - we (myself and Dr Sabine Little) were awarded approximately £80,000 of research funding from  (Poland) to create a new interdisciplinary primary school subject which could be taught to children internationally. Our project team, composed of two Research Associates (Hannah Raine and Adeline Choo) and a Digital Content Designer (Sheida Tanhai), have created a series of 45 lessons complete with interactive learning resources, ready-made to be incorporated by primary school teachers within existing curricula.  A  of this project was produced by Hannah Raine for the Research England funded 'Connect and Reflect' project, as an example of best participatory research practice.
• 'Rethinking Deafness, Film and Accessibility' (2022) - working with Dr Kirsty Liddiard (as co-PIs) and Beth Evans and Jon Rhodes at user research and design studio Paper, this 91Ö±²¥ Innovation Programme (SIP) project explored how Deaf people perceive suspense in films as an under-researched and under-represented group. We designed this research project with the help of a Deaf Advisory Board, and conducted online video interviews with a small group of Deaf people, facilitated by a Deaf Interpreter (). Our project findings will be presented in both written English and British Sign Language, to make the research accessible to both Deaf and hearing people. A Deaf Studies Database has also been created as a result of this project, to enable and promote future research possibilities with Deaf people as participants.
• Evaluating Trespass Prevention (2021) - working as the Principal Investigator on a UKRI National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF) project, working in partnership with Network Rail and the National Railway Museum to better understand young people’s perceptions of anti-railway trespass video campaigns. Working alongside several academic colleagues from 91Ö±²¥, including Dr Becky Parry, Marion Oveson, and Dr Aneesh Barai, we developed an evaluation toolkit for Network Rail, who intend to use this to better understand how young audiences interpret and engage with anti-trespass media material. Hannah Raine has also compiled a  of this project for the Research England funded 'Connect and Reflect' project, as an example of best participatory research practice.
