Nicole Brown

Nicole Brown is Associate Professor at the UCL Institute of Education in the department of Culture, Communication, and Media. A leading voice in embodied research, she draws on creative, arts-based methods to challenge conventional approaches to researching ableism, disability, chronic illness, and neurodivergence in higher education. Her research foregrounds lived experience and advocates for new ways of listening, speaking, and representing experience that drive cultural, institutional, and structural change. Nicole’s publications include Photovoice Reimagined, Making the Most of Your Research Journal, and Embodied Inquiry: Research Methods. Her next book will be the creative anthology Exceptionally Able.
