Amy is a human geographer based at the University of Manchester, invested in arts-based, creative approaches to mapping praxis and participatory research with children and young people. Her PhD project is titled 'Playing with Place: everyday politics and children's creative mapping praxis in Belfast.' Pivotal to her research design and methodology is the child’s right to take part in creative activity; to know and understand their culture and that of others in a divided society, specifically where it relates their personal geographies. Her research considers both mapping and 'mattering' as predicated along affective, material and performative lines that are further entangled with minor politics; that is, a politics that recognises other, non-statist ways of 'being political'. Amy's specific areas of research interests intersect Children's (everyday) Geographies and Children's Literature, more-than representational mappings, minor theory and thingness
