About Daniel

I'm a Human Geographer, teaching assistant, and research assistant based at Newcastle University. I'm currently conducting research into the embodied experiences of Tourette Syndrome.

Project description

The project critiques existing geographical thought surrounding the body and disability. By applying the lens of Tourette Syndrome, I will explore ideas of impulse in relation to the body and public spaces.

By considering various experiences, the project will present real, unfiltered accounts of Tourette Syndrome. The project is in collaboration with the educational charity, TIC-Hull.
