Annabelle Edwards
Senior Research AssociateResearch Overview
I am a cultural health geographer and my interests lie (primarily) in the critical development of the 'therapeutic landscapes' concept (and its implications for social prescribing), and post-phenomenological theory and methods. More broadly I have interests in the relationship between health and place, and in mediating influence of embodied history and embodied difference on this relationship.
Currently I am working on the Wellcome Trust funded project - Accounting for the experiential complexity of socially-prescribed activities
