Clemency Wood
PhD student at the University of Cambridge
Researcher, writer, artist, educator, student, learner, curious wayfarer. These are among the labels I might give myself when describing what I do, who I am professionally.
My main focus is currently on the Deschooling Art Education project which utilises qualitative and arts-based approaches to research.
I am extremely grateful to be a fully funded Cambridge Trust scholar.
