Biography

I am an interdisciplinary creative social 'scientist' with a background in co-production and creative methods. My work cuts across trans studies and queer disability studies. I care about working with communities within these disciplines and I often focus on those marginalised or excluded by research or those with a mistrust of research processes. I draw on a range of creative methods to make these research relationships work because I think creative approaches can give us a way in to sociological stories that are hard to tell and hard to hear.

I have previously worked at the University of Northumbria and the University of Strathclyde on co-produced and creative projects. I also have a background working and volunteering in Student Unions. I am a published poet and I produce and perform sociological poetry.

My PhD, from the University of Glasgow, addressed trans and intersex activist relationships across Australia, Malta and the UK with the use of ethnodrama. During an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Strathclyde I staged this work as a piece of ethnotheatre (a play) with a cast and crew with a connection to the LGBTI community most of whom were queer and trans.

Research interests

Creative Representation

I tried to find the words but they wouldn’t come

struggling to write, all my thoughts come undone

overwhelmed by the burden

of representation

of real people with a real story

so I added creativity

Swapping out one truth for another

Replacing one place with the other

removed from context, out of time

Freed up these stories, theirs not mine

their many truths overlapped in rhyme

Through this I found the words, their words

Their expression, their phrasing, their terms

to do justice to their stories, contexts

to make sense of relationships so complex

offers an analysis that respects complex contexts

Research interests key terms: Co-production, creative methods, creative practice, ethics, LGBTI, plays, poetry, poststructuralism, qualitative methods, queer, queer theory, queer disability studies, transgender / trans studies.

I put on a play created from my research with trans and intersex activists. The play was filmed. Email me to ask about screenings (or to chat ethnodrama as a method).

More info on the play:

As Is, Play,
Researcher/Writer/Producer Dr Harvey Humphrey,
Director: Slater Cain;
July 2022, Scottish Youth Theatre, Glasgow.

This was an in-person performance of the As Is play, an ethnodrama drawn from research interviews with trans, intersex and LGBTI activists across the UK, Malta and Australia (conducted between 2016 and 2018). The play uses composite characters to ethically represent trans, intersex and LGBTI activist relationships. The play surrounds a fictitious proposed bill ‘ASIS’ (drawn from real laws and proposed bills across all the countries) to consider trans and intersex legal recognition. Offering the characters a chance to discuss their work, complex relationships, and the battle for recognition of who they are. This sold-out event was attended by 70 audience members and a cast and crew of 15. There was also a post-show Q&A with Harvey, Slater and three actors. The play was filmed.

Screenings including Q&As with myself (and potentially actors and the Director) can be arranged.
