Research Centre for Arts and Wellbeing

The centre has developed over the last decade from an active research group that have engaged in interdisciplinary research activities in the form of research projects, publications, events and masterclasses.

Research methodologies celebrate creative and arts-based methods next to verbal accounts of lived experiences and standardised methods of measuring change, allowing for diverse types of evidence to emerge that speak about different aspects of the work to different audiences.

The centre draws expertise from across the university, championing interdisciplinary research. It has three main strands: (i) research on performance, (ii) community/workplace projects and (iii) clinical research

Lab Co-Director, Christopher Bailey has been made an Honorary Research Fellow at the Research Centre for Arts and Wellbeing, Edgehill University.
