Dr Eleanor Brown

  • British Academy - Post Doctoral Fellow (Sociological & Cultural Studies)

Biography

Eleanor Brown is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow in the Division of Sociological & Cultural Studies. Her British Academy funded project explores experiences of disability, accessibility, pain, and injury among orchestral musicians in Scotland through a human rights lens. Past experience has included developing and evaluating interventions to support people with long-term health conditions and exploring the use of writing and poetry for people shielding during lockdowns. Eleanor has a background in education, music, social care, disability studies, and speech-language therapy. Her PhD research at Glasgow Caledonian University focused on the accessibility of stroke rehabilitation for people with aphasia (a communication impairment), arguing for communication access as a human right.

Eleanor’s research interests include accessibility, disabled experiences of the body, human rights approaches, social inclusion, access to arts and culture, and qualitative and participatory methodologies.
