As part of the Year of the Young Person 2018, the British Council have funded five places on this seminar for which I was lucky enough to be selected. The seminar, held in Munich and chaired by Robert Macfarlane, will ‘celebrate and critically examine some of the aspects, forms and outcomes of nature writing’.

CARNEGIE VACATION SCHOLARSHIP
May 2018 – July 2018
I am delighted to join the Carnegie research family with my project, ‘Talk to my poems’: A creative project examining and responding to female mental health experiences in confessional poetry. With this project I hope to not only explore my own experiences with mental health but raise awareness of the role of literature in mental health awareness and openness.
