Niamh Burns in conversation with Dr Natasa Lackovic
On this week’s episode Niamh Burns, a final year psychology student at the University of Leeds, speaks with Natasa Lackovic about her SMaRteN-funded research project, ‘Things and the mind: students’ graphic memoir of material things that mediate their mental health experiences’.
Natasa is a Director of the Centre of Higher Education Research and Evaluation (CHERE) at the Department of Educational Research, Lancaster University. She is also a Director of Lancaster University’s international graphic novels and comics network ReOPeN. Natasa has a particular interest in how graphic art and visual media can support diverse university practices.
This episode discusses the themes explored in the graphic novel considering how materiality, things and places can affect mental health through the discussion of the lived experiences of the nine students in the novel.
