The Mountains of Metaphor
Having the right working metaphors can make a difference to any long research project. Here, I set out why working metaphors are so crucial to our research processes, and how the Mountains of Metaphor can help us communicate better about our research journeys.
How abstract ideas are “embedded” into everyday interactions…
The social sciences have a central role in helping us Build Back Better. But before we can imagine better ways of doing, talking and thinking, we need to recognise the mental models we are currently using and where these came from. This seems to be starting to happen…
Visualising the PhD journey: once you start looking for metaphors…

What happens when we repeat legal (red) aspects of interactions? 
What happens when interactions repeat over time? Do patterns occur?
