Additional research interests include journalism as practice-based research, journalism ethics, and journalism curricula, and storytelling and creative recovery practice and their intersection with flood impacts and other climate disasters (see , , and ). Since 2022, I have been a research team member of the multi-disciplinary of the 'Floods and Me: Education in a changing climate' project.
